The Fort at the end of the road

At the very tip of the peninsula, St Anthony Head is a perfect place to have a walk, a place to sit and stare at the blue yonder, or to stop off for a picnic. Hidden underground, in strange looking buildings and behind locked doors are decades of military history. On selected dates each year we invite you to come along and find out how this quiet corner of Cornwall helped to protect our shores. From the late eighteenth century up to World War Two, this headland has played its part. Tour dates to book in 2026 (two tours each day from 11:00 – 12:30 and 13:30 – 15:00): • Thursday 4 June • Wednesday 8 July • Sunday 2 August • Sunday 13 September (as part of the Heritage Open Days) £5.00 per person (excluding 13 September, which is free to all) Please click to book your spaces.
