St Anthony Head is a headland and National Trust property at the southernmost tip of the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall. It overlooks the entrance to one of the world's largest natural harbours, Carrick Roads, and the estuary of River Fal.
A twin 6" gun battery remains standing on the headland.
The headland is designated as part of Carricknath Point to Porthbean Beach and Lower Fal & Helford Intertidal Sites of Special Scientific Interest.[1] At its tip stands St Anthony's Lighthouse.
