The Rumps
The Rumps (Cornish: Penn Tir, lit. 'headland') (grid reference SW 934 810) is a twin-headland promontory at the north-east corner of Pentire Head in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The Rumps is attested as a name for the site from 1826 but is assumed to be significantly older.
The promontory is formed from hard basaltic rock (see also Geology of Cornwall) and projects north into the Atlantic Ocean. Its headlands lie east-to-west. A small offshore island named The Mouls lies off the eastern headland; the western headland is named Rumps Point.
Access to The Rumps is via the South West Coast Path from Polzeath or by an inland public footpath from the car park at Pentire Farm. The entire Pentire headland, including The Rumps, is under the stewardship of the National Trust. Sightseeing boat tours regularly sail around The Rumps from the nearby port of Padstow. It is also listed by the RSPB as one of Cornwall's "prime spots" to see the corn bunting, a species of high conservation priority.
