Higher Porthmeor unfolds with a quiet dignity, its stone cottages catching the soft Cornish light. It lies 7.9 km north-north-west of Penzance (from Penzance: bearing 328°T, OS grid SW 432 372), and is situated north-north-west of Madron village. The air here carries a subtle tang of the sea, even at this distance inland, a testament to its proximity to the rugged coastline. Fields of heather and gorse, burnished gold and deep purple under the expansive sky, surround Higher Porthmeor, lending a wild beauty to the landscape. The small cluster of dwellings seems to have grown organically from the earth, its history as humble and enduring as the ancient granite outcrops that dot the hills. Life in Higher Porthmeor unfolds at a pace that allows for contemplation, the distant bleating of sheep and the cry of gulls the dominant sounds.
