Welcome to Wolf Rock

Wolf Rock is a small rocky island located off the coast of Cornwall, England. It is situated approximately 8 miles southwest of Land's End and is known for its treacherous waters and dangerous rocks. The island is home to a lighthouse that was built in 1862 to warn ships of the dangers of the area. The lighthouse is still in operation today and is considered one of the most important navigational aids in the region.

The waters around Wolf Rock are notorious for their strong currents and unpredictable weather conditions. The area is known for its shipwrecks, and many vessels have met their demise on the rocks surrounding the island. The lighthouse at Wolf Rock has played a crucial role in preventing further shipwrecks and has saved countless lives over the years. The lighthouse is now fully automated and is monitored remotely, but it remains an important part of the maritime history of Cornwall.

Despite its dangerous reputation, Wolf Rock is also a popular spot for divers and snorkelers. The waters around the island are home to a variety of marine life, including seals, dolphins, and a wide range of fish species. The rocky terrain of the island itself is also home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins, gulls, and cormorants. For those who are brave enough to venture into the waters around Wolf Rock, it is a unique and unforgettable experience that offers a glimpse into the natural beauty of the Cornish coast.
