Higher Town Cornwall Map

About Higher Town

Higher Town unfolds its quiet charm upon the landscape. It lies 5.7 km north-north-east of Hugh Town (from Hugh Town: bearing 25°T, OS grid SV 929 155), and is situated east of Old Grimsby village. The air here often carries a faint, briny tang, a whisper from the surrounding sea, and the sunlight, when it breaks through, seems to possess a particular clarity, illuminating the weathered stone of the few dwellings that comprise Higher Town. The fields surrounding Higher Town are often a rich, earthy brown, a colour that speaks of generations of careful cultivation, and the sheep that graze upon them move with a slow, deliberate grace, their wool a soft counterpoint to the rugged coastline. A sense of deep quietude pervades this corner of Cornwall, a place where the land meets the sea with a gentle, enduring strength.
