Understand the viewpoint

The former military lookout helps explain the strategic importance of the harbours below. The photograph shows the view over English and Falmouth Harbours.

Plan the return as well as the arrival

Check access and any current event arrangements. If you choose an evening visit, arrange your return transport before settling in. A sunset is a possibility, rather than a scheduled performance.

Give the day room to unfold

Check current access and weather, and allow time for the setting as well as a photograph.
