Follow the footpath along the clifftop and cross the small footbridge that connects a gap in the headland, then pick the best spot to watch the sun disappear below the horizon. Surrounded by Bronze Age barrows and ancient ramparts, you’ll be rewarded with exceptional views along Newquay’s coastline and beyond. Look closely and you’ll spot the Headland Hotel across the bay, made famous in the 1990 movie, The Witches.
