With a surfing beach that
stretches for three miles, this one-time tin
mining village has a joyful character with
surrounding scenery capable of stealing one’s
breath.
Close by is the 6th century St. Piran’s Church but
there is also a 130ft amphitheatre called St.
Piran’s Round where ancient mystery plays are
re-enacted.
The village inspired the novelist Winston Graham
to pen his famous ‘Poldark’ series of novels after
he moved here in the 1930's. |
