Townshend Cornwall Map

About Townshend

Townshend rests, a quiet constellation of stone against the Cornish landscape. It lies 5.5 km south-east of Hayle (from Hayle: bearing 140°T, OS grid SW 592 328), and is situated north-west of Godolphin Cross village. The air here, even in the languid afternoons, seems to carry a faint, salty tang from the nearby coast, a reminder of the sea's ever-present influence. Fields, divided by ancient, lichen-dusted stone walls, roll away towards the horizon, their greens deepened by the soft, diffused light that often graces this part of England. The scattered cottages of Townshend, their granite walls weathered to a muted grey, speak of a continuity that predates modern haste. One might imagine the slow turning of seasons, the quiet hum of agricultural life, as the dominant rhythm here, a counterpoint to the distant murmur of the Atlantic.
