The extraordinary panorama encompasses views including the iconic landmarks of Rame Head to the east, the Eddystone Lighthouse on the horizon and westerly views to Looe including Looe Island, Hannafore Beach and extends as far as Dodman Point and The Lizard on a clear day.

The constant passage of commercial, naval and pleasure craft around Whitsand Bay approaching the entrance to Plymouth Sound, makes this an extraordinary, distracting and inspirational outlook.
