Cape Cornwall (Cornish: Kilgoodh, meaning "goose back")[1] is a small headland in West Cornwall, England. It is 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Land's End near the town of St Just.[2] Until the first Ordnance Survey in the early 19th-century, Cape Cornwall was believed to be the most westerly point in Cornwall.[3]

Most of the headland is owned by the National Trust. National Coastwatch has a look-out on the seaward side. The only tourist infrastructure at present is a car park (owned by the National Trust), public toilets, and a refreshments counter during the summer.

The Brisons, two offshore rocks, are located approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) southwest of Cape Cornwall. They mark the starting line of the annual swimming race ending at Priest Cove.[2][3]
