Treryn Dinas Cliff Castle, Cornwall

Located in Porthcurno, Cornwall, South West England, England
Treryn Dinas is a cliff castle on the Logan Rock Headland (or Promontory) in the eastern section of Porthcurno Bay. We've positioned Treryn Dinas Cliff Castle on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location. Note the earthworks that are clearly visible on that satellite imagery. You'll see the South West Coast Path running along the outer earthwork and a well worn track running south east into the headland
'Old traditions say that the headlands of Castle Treen, or rather Trereen, on which the Logan Rock carn and adjacent crags stand, was raised out of the sea by enchantment. This portion of the stronghold, enclosed by the inner line of defence, running directly across the isthmus, is generally spoken of as The Castle, and that between it and the outer or landward embankments is usually called Treen Dynas.' (Source: William Bottrell's 'Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall)
Other cliff castles we'd recommend visiting on the The Land's End Peninsula (The Penwith Peninsula) include Land's End Maen Cliff Castle, Trereen Dinas Cliff Castle and Kenidjack Castle
