Whitecross Cornwall Map

About Whitecross

Whitecross, a Cornish hamlet, offers a quiet contemplation of the land. It lies 4.0 km north of Marazion (from Marazion: bearing 4°T, OS grid SW 522 346), and is situated west-south-west of Canon's Town village. The surrounding fields, often a rich tapestry of green and gold under the expansive South Cornish sky, undulate gently, suggesting a long history of cultivation. A certain stillness pervades Whitecross, a quality amplified by the muted tones of its stone cottages, as if the very air has absorbed the quietude of centuries. The infrequent sound of distant sheep bleating or the rustle of wind through the hedgerows serves only to deepen this sense of tranquil seclusion. Even the sunlight here seems to possess a softer, more diffused character, casting long, gentle shadows that lengthen the perceived distance between one dwelling and the next.
