A walk to Treryn Dinas

On the far side of Porthcurno cove is the imposing and rugged granite headland of Treryn Dinas or Treen Castle. This is the site of an Iron Age promontory fort. The promontory slopes away steeply to the sea on three sides, and on the landward (north) side there are widely spaced defensive earthworks. The South West Coast Path from Penberth Cove, which is currently surrounded by blossoming heather, runs alongside the outer rampart, On the promontory, these cliffs are best known as the location of Logan Rock, a naturally occurring 65 ton rock balanced 100ft (30m) above the sea.
