About
About Gribbin Daymark
The Gribbin Daymark was built by Trinity House in 1832 as a navigation aid, helping sailors tell the entrance to Fowey from the bay at St Austell. It stands about 84 feet tall on Gribbin Head and is cared for by the National Trust.
The walk out to the daymark from Polkerris or Readymoney Cove is one of the best on the south coast, with views over St Austell Bay and the Fowey estuary.
