About Playing Place

Playing Place draws a quiet breath of salt air from the nearby estuaries, its lanes defined by the soft, grey light that often lingers over the Cornish peninsula. It lies 2.2 miles south-south-west of Truro (from Truro: bearing 199°T, OS grid SW 813 415), and is situated north-north-west of Penelewey village. Ancient earthworks endure in the surrounding fields, such as the Two Rounds at Playing Place, where the low, grassy banks hold the stillness of centuries against the modern hum of the road. Beyond these remnants, the landscape tilts gently toward the Malpas Estuary, where the tidal waters pull back to reveal a gleaming expanse of mudflats and salt-marsh. The local terrain reflects a history of agrarian patience, marked by the presence of a round barrow near Penventon that stands as a silent sentinel over the rolling topography. Playing Place maintains a character defined by this proximity to both the open, windswept ridges and the sheltered, river-fed valleys that drain towards the coast. Beneath the expansive sky, the rhythm of daily life unfolds with a steady, unpretentious clarity that mirrors the enduring nature of the soil itself.
