Zennor

England

Zennor perches dramatically on Cornwall's north coast, where ancient moorland meets towering sea cliffs. Reach it via the spectacular B3306 coastal road from St Ives, just 7km away, though the narrow clifftop route demands careful driving. The village church houses a medieval carved bench end showing the mermaid Morveren, who according to legend seduced a local chorister beneath the Atlantic waves.
