The key landscape characteristics of this section of Cornwall National Landscape are the variety of coastal scenery due to the diverse geology including hard greenstones, which form the elevated headlands as seen at Trevose Head and Stepper Point. The more easily eroded slates and shales back the bays and coves between the headlands as can be seen at Harlyn Bay, Trevone, Treyarnon and Mother Ivey’s Bay. There are extensive coastal sand dunes at Constantine Bay.
The archaeology of Section 04 of Cornwall National Landscape includes Iron Age Cliff Castles, like Winecove and Redcliff Cliff Castles, and a long buried chapel at Trevose.
Scheduled Monuments in Section 04
The Monumental Improvement project will ensure that 38 Scheduled Monuments in the Cornwall National Landscape will be better identified, supported and enjoyed by a wide range of communities and visitors.
