About Penare

Penare catches the sharp, salt-laden winds that whip across the Cornish peninsula, defining the rugged character of its exposed landscape. It lies 7.6 miles south of St Austell (from St Austell: bearing 185°T, OS grid SW 999 403), and is situated south-west of Gorran Haven village. Ancient stone walls divide the fields around Penare, holding back the weight of the earth against the relentless pull of the sea. Only a short walk away, the sands of Hemmick Beach stretch out in a quiet curve, reflecting the pale, shifting light of the Atlantic sky. Further inland, the quiet waters of Lizard Pool offer a dark, still contrast to the turbulent waves that crash against the nearby cliffs. The horizon is marked by the presence of the Later Prehistoric Cliff Castle on Dodman Point, a reminder of those who sought shelter on this high, windy ridge long ago. Life here follows the turning of the tides and the slow rotation of the seasons, far removed from the clamour of modern industry. Penare endures as a fragment of history, anchored firmly between the fertile soil and the cold, grey expanse of the water.
