Península del extremo occidental de Cornualles, en Inglaterra.

Su punta constituye el extremo sudoccidental de Inglaterra y se encuentra a unos 1.400 km (870 mi) de distancia de John o' Groats, pueblo considerado tradicionalmente como el extremo septentrional de Gran Bretaña. Frente a sus costas hay peligrosos arrecifes. Un grupo de ellos, situado aprox. a 1,5 km de la costa, está señalado por el faro de Longships.
