Kenneggy Cliff is a stunning geological formation located in Cornwall, England. It is situated on the southern coast, near the village of Rosudgeon, and overlooks the Celtic Sea. This magnificent cliff stands at an impressive height of about 60 meters, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

The cliff is composed of rugged granite rocks, which have been shaped and carved by the relentless forces of nature over millions of years. Its distinctive jagged appearance is a result of erosion caused by the crashing waves and strong winds that batter the coast.

At the base of Kenneggy Cliff, there is a narrow, pebbly beach, which can be accessed via a steep and winding footpath. This secluded beach is a haven for nature lovers, offering a peaceful and tranquil spot to relax and enjoy the sound of the crashing waves.

The area surrounding Kenneggy Cliff is rich in flora and fauna, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The cliff is home to various species of seabirds, including gulls and cormorants, which can often be seen nesting on the rocky ledges.

Visitors to Kenneggy Cliff can also explore the nearby ancient remains of the Tregiffian Burial Chamber, a Neolithic tomb dating back over 5,000 years. This historic site provides a fascinating glimpse into the region's rich cultural heritage.

Overall, Kenneggy Cliff is a captivating natural wonder, offering visitors a chance to experience the raw beauty of Cornwall's coastline and immerse themselves in its rich history.
