Mount Hawke Cornwall Map

About Mount Hawke

Mount Hawke surveys the Cornish landscape with a quiet dignity. It lies 5.6 km north-north-east of Redruth (from Redruth: bearing 13°T, OS grid SW 715 475), and is situated east of Porthtowan village. The air here often carries the faint, salty tang of the nearby Atlantic, a constant reminder of the wilder coast not far off. Fields, the colour of rich earth under a sky that can shift from bruised pewter to brilliant cerulean in a matter of hours, roll away from the cluster of houses, hinting at generations of toil. The village itself, with its stone walls and occasional splash of brightly painted door, possesses a resilient charm, a place that has weathered storms both meteorological and economic. Even in its stillness, one can sense the echoes of a past tied to mining, a history that shaped the very contours of the land and the spirit of its inhabitants.
