About Gurnard's Head

Gurnard's Head is a famous, high-profile promontory jutting into the Atlantic near Zennor, constructed of dark greenstone and hornfels. The rock character is dense, sharp, and highly featured, offering vertical crack lines, positive edges, and steep wall climbing. Facing multiple aspects across its long, narrow headland, climbers can easily select sunny or sheltered walls. The route selection spans traditional climbs from Severe to hard E-grades, featuring quality classics like Gurnard's Wall. The approach demands a twenty-minute walk across fields from the Gurnard's Head Hotel laybys followed by a descent gully. High tides cut off access across the narrow tidal neck, making tide tables critical.
