About Carn Boel
Historical/community camping report; current permission is unconfirmed. Low, windswept headland south of Land's End with uninterrupted views toward the Longships and open Atlantic. The historic footpath directory calls Carn Boel an exposed but beautiful wild pitch and records no services. The ground is best thought of as exposed low cliff-top heath. No services at the anchor; carry water and all camping needs.
