Dist:0.6km west<br/>Viewed from the clifftop looking inland is an area of coastal grass and heathland managed by the National Trust. Beyond, starting at the houses, the scene looks into [[SW3629]] and the Nanjulian Valley.

Dist:0.6km east<br/>Entering the hamlet along the lane from Cot Mill, with a finely undulating barn roof on the right. Glimpsed on the left is the B3306.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>Just by Nanquidno Downs, the lane leads across to Trevegean Farm and, heading northwards, on to St Just.

Dist:0.7km west<br/>Looking up the valley from near the sea shore. There are plenty of old mining waste tips up here although mostly covered with vegetation.

Dist:0.7km west<br/>Winter gales in the Atlantic, and the Brisons in the background. This stony beach is reached by the South West Coast path from Porth Nanven or Sennen Cove.

Dist:0.7km west<br/>A walled-round mineshaft on Nanjulian cliff. The Longships light can be seen in the distance; and the cliffs by Sennen Cove. Choughs sometimes feed on this grassland.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>A well-defined stone and earth wall surrounds several quite distinct hut circles which form this settlement high above Nanjulian Cliff. In the distance can be seen the rock islets known as The Brisons.

Dist:0.7km west<br/>While in other parts of Cornwall old mineshafts are often protected by a wire cone, in this area it is common to see them surrounded by a low stone wall.
