Menagissey Cornwall Map

About Menagissey

Menagissey, a place where the Cornish earth yields its secrets, holds a quietude that settles like fine dust upon ancient stones. It lies 4.6 km north of Redruth (from Redruth: bearing 11°T, OS grid SW 712 466), and is situated south-south-west of Mount Hawke village. The land around Menagissey, rolling and often softened by a fine mist, hints at a past woven with the rugged labours of mining, the echoes of which are still discernible in the contours of the hills. Here, the light often possesses a pearly luminescence, caressing the granite walls of older buildings and lending a gentle, melancholic beauty to the hedgerows. Though its origins are humble, Menagissey has always been a place of steadfast endurance, its character shaped by the resilience of its people and the enduring spirit of the Cornish landscape. The air itself seems to carry a faint scent of damp earth and distant sea, a reminder of the elemental forces that have sculpted this corner of England.
