Towan Cross Cornwall Map

About Towan Cross

Towan Cross stands as a quiet sentinel in Cornwall's western reaches. It lies 6.3 km north of Redruth (from Redruth: bearing 3°T, OS grid SW 707 483), and is situated north-west of Mount Hawke village. The air here often carries a faint, salty tang from the nearby Atlantic, a constant reminder of the Cornish coast's enduring embrace. Though small, Towan Cross has long been part of a landscape shaped by mining, its very soil once yielding riches beneath the earth, a legacy whispered in the contours of the land. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often dramatic Cornish skies, can cast a fleeting, pearly luminescence upon the clustered stone buildings. The surrounding fields, a patchwork of greens and browns, stretch towards the horizon, offering vistas that speak of a rugged, untamed beauty.
