At Dodman Point near Mevagissey is the highest headland on the south Cornwall coast.〔http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/dodman-and-black-head/〕 It was originally known as the Deadman or Deadman's Point, which names are still sometimes used.〔McKenzie & al. (''The New British Channel Pilot, containing Sailing Directions from London to Liverpool, including the Bristol Channel, and from Calais to Brest; also for the Coasts of Ireland, from Loch Carlingford to London, and thence to Galway Bay; compiled from the Latest Surveys of the Coasts of England and Ireland, also of the Coasts and Harbours of France, including the Remarks and Observations of Several Pilots, Masters in the Navy, and Coasters'' (11th ed.), p. 66. ) J.W. Norie & Co. (London), 1839. Accessed 26 May 2014.〕 It hosts the remains of an Iron Age promontory fort.〔 At its seaward end is a large granite cross, erected to help protect shipping from this headland.〔 It is mentioned in the shanty ''Spanish Ladies''. To its north-east and in its lee is the small anchorage and sand beach of Gorran Haven. Below the large stone cross, there is a way down to the bottom of the small cliffs and there is some climbing there on the faces mainly bouldering as it is rarely scaled so there are no fixed anchor points.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UK Climbing Limited )〕 ==Gallery== File:On the coastal path looking towards Dodman Point - geograph.org.uk - 224012.jpg|Viewed from the east File:Dodman Point (geograph 2425653).jpg|Viewed from the west File:The cross at Dodman Point (geograph 1643385).jpg|The Cross File:The Watch House, Dodman Point (geograph 2428023).jpg|The Watch House 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dodman Point」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
