The Daymark Tower at Gribbin Head.

........................................


Gribbin Head is a gentle green headland referred to locally as "The Gribbin".

The headland is topped by the red-and-white striped Daymark Tower which was erected in 1832 as a safety measure.

It seems that sailors often mistook Gribbin Head for St. Anthony's Head at the entrance of Falmouth Estuary.

Many accidents resulted from the confusion until the Daymark Tower was built to distinguish the two headlands.
