The Crim Rocks are the most westward of the archipelago's Western Rocks,[2][3] therefore making them the westernmost point of England. They are approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Bishop Rock,[4] and about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) southwest of Zantman's Rock. The name may be cognate with the Middle Welsh "crimp" meaning "shin, ridge, or ledge."[2] The most conspicuous of the Crim Rocks is the Peaked Rock.[4] At least thirty ships are known to have been wrecked on the Crims.[3]

[de] Crim Rocks

Die Crim Rocks (kornisch: An Creeban) sind eine unbewohnte Inselgruppe im äußersten Westen der Scilly-Inseln. Die Eilande befinden sich 2,4 km nordnordwestlich von Bishop Rock und 400 m südwestlich von Zantman’s Rock, und bilden die westlichste Landmasse Englands. Der Name Crim stammt wahrscheinlich vom walisischen Crimp ab, was so viel wie „Felsgrat“ bzw. „Felsvorsprung“ bedeutet.[1]
