Cape Cornwall is predominantly granitic with impressive cliffs, having been sculpted by the relentless forces of wind and sea. The rock formations tell a tale of ancient volcanic activity and erosion that has crafted this stunning coastal landscape.

The name 'Cape Cornwall' comes from its geographical position as the most northwesterly cape in Cornwall, with 'cape' referring to a prominent point of land.
