Dodman Point (Cornish: Penn Den Varow) near Mevagissey is the highest headland on the south Cornwall coast, measuring 374 feet (114 m).

[4] It hosts the remains of an Iron Age promontory fort,[2] and at its seaward end is "Parson Martin's Cross" – a large granite cross[5] erected in 1896 to encourage those involved in Christian service,[6] and which aids navigation around the headland.

[3] Dodman Point 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.
