Veryan

Veryan is a picturesque village situated on the lovely unspoilt Roseland Peninsula. The village extends over 1.5 miles along the south Cornish coast from Pendower beach in the west to Portholland in the east.

The earliest settlers in Veryan were tribes from the Bronze Age and Carne Beacon, not far from Carne beach, is one of the largest burial mounds or barrows in Britain. The village is also home to the nineteenth century thatched round houses, there are 5 in total, two pairs at each end of the village and one in the middle.

Although Veryan is totally rural and off the beaten track, it takes only twenty minutes by car to reach the towns of Truro and St Austell. Being almost as far south as one can be in the British Isles, the climate is mild, spring comes early and it is a gardeners paradise.
