Dodman Point	Cornwall

Described as the boldest and most striking of headlands between Falmouth and Plymouth, Dodman Point or the Dodman has been the site of many shipwrecks.

In 1896 a local parson had the granite cross erected to act as a landmark for shipping. However this failed to save two war ships in the following year. More recently the pleasure boat Darlwin sank with all passengers in 1966.

A CDROM version of the PhotoTour with over 540 high-quality photos of larger size is available from the Association's shop.
