Mayon Cliff Ship Wreck — Attraction in Sennen

You can go inside BUT with great caution. There is some wooden lats that have been put in close to the bottom side of the wreck that allow for much easier entry.

The ship is on heavy degree of slant so it's worth being careful. It can be slippy af. Also super rusty so be careful where you put your hands on the climb!

If the weather is wet the rocks can be a slip hazard as can the old pieces of metal some of which also have sharp edges (as can be seen in the fourth photography on...

On March 22, 2003, the cargo ship RMS Mülheim crashed into the rocky shore and settled on a sandbank in Gamper Bay between Sennen Cove and Land's End.

Descending from the South West Coast Path to the cove where the wreck rests is challenging due to tides and steep, slippery rocks. Therefore, we opted not to descend but admired the wreck from above, gazing from the cliff's summit.

A fascinating sight, serving as a reminder of the strength and...
