Hiking
The Stone Cross at Dodman Point on the southernmost point of the Roseland Peninsula sits high on the cliffs looking over the sea on three sides. Easily accessible by foot on the Cornish Coastal footpath.

Hiking
Dodman Point is the highest headland on the south Cornish coast and affords breathtaking views. It also boasts abundant birdlife and interesting geology. There are remnants of an Iron Age earthwork, nearly 2,185 feet (666 m) long and over 20 feet (6 m) high, on the peninsula. A large granite cross marks the point, which was erected in 1896 as a navigational aid for seafarers.

Hiking
Perched on the tip of Dodman Point you'll find Dodman Cross. Made of granite, its actually a navigational aid for those out at sea rather than a religious monument.
