Kenidjack Cliff Castle

Kenidjack Cliff Castle is a substantial Iron Age promontory fort positioned at the southernmost tip of the Penwith peninsula near Penzance. The site features remarkable triple-ditch defenses built with granite rocks, particularly well-preserved on the northern side where their original construction remains evident beneath vegetation. Located along the coastal path between St Just and Botallack, the castle sits amid landscape rich with industrial heritage, including mining engine houses clinging to sheer cliffs and Bronze Age burial cairns. Easy access via a small stile provides visitors with views across dramatic coastal terrain and archaeological remains including ancient hut circles.
