| An unusual patch of reeds and willow at the top of Pry Cove - just east of Kite`s Carn - provides a different habitat much favoured by Sedge and Grasshopper Warblers in summer. | The sheer cliffs of Hail Dinas. This lovely area is reached
by taking the path to the Logan Rock from Treen village, then going a little
east along the Cliff Path. The walk from Treen village to the cliff is approximately one mile. |
| White-fronted Geese (very unusual here), Black-headed and Herring Gulls feed on a stubble field. | Great bird habitat where the fields border the clifftop. A tangle of gorse and ferns at the top of Hail Dinas Cove, Treen Cliff. |

Travel Directions
From Penzance , take the A30 for Land`s End. Roughly 3 miles from Penzance,
turn left at Catchall onto the B3283 (St.Buryan). Continue through St.Buryan
; two miles southwest of St.Buryan the road traverses Penberth Valley , at the
top of the hill on the far side of the valley turn left to Treen (Logan Rock).
From the Land`s End area, take the B3315 (Porthcurno) off the A30 half a mile
east of Land`s End ; continue through Polgigga and carry on past the Porthcurno
turning . Just after the entrance to Trendrennen Farm on the right, the road
starts downhill (Hangman`s Hill). Take the sharp right turn at the bottom of
the hill to Treen (Logan Rock).
Two paths leave Treen towards the cliff ; one (the larger
path) works its way past the Camp Site and reaches the cliff above PednVounder
beach , whilst the second path takes a more southeasterly route across fields
to emerge onto the cliff at Treen Castle , on which stands the famous Logan
Rock.
Both routes disect arable farmland and - particularly in autumn
- the fields , some of which are invariably stubble , are alive with flocks
of Finches and Skylark , with Meadow Pipits also occuring in good numbers.
The village of Treen is situated about 3½ miles east-southeast
of Land`s End .
Treen is a good base from which to explore both the farmland and clifftop bird
habitat.
