SITUATION

The old hamlet of Trewennack is located on the A394 Truro to Helston road, and as such is central to the towns, villages and attractions of West Cornwall. The former market town of Helston, home to the annual Flora Day Furry Dance is just 2 miles away where there is wide range of schools, retail, health, leisure, business and banking facilities. For those based at RNAS Culdrose the drive is just 1 mile further on whereas the busy harbour port of Falmouth is a short commute of 12 miles away, and the County town of Truro, with an even wider range of amenities and services is approximately 16 miles distant.

Trewennack fringes the Lizard Heritage Coast, arguably Cornwall at its best featuring stunning and largely unspoilt south coast scenery and the historic villages of Mullion, Cadgwith and Coverack.
