Pendeen

Welcome to Pendeen

Pendeen’s wild heart thumps from Chûn Castle’s Celtic stones to the eerie glow of *Overhill*’s silver screen. Two millennia ago, this Iron Age hillfort—carved ~500 BC—guarded Penwith’s tin mines, its granite walls defying the moor’s howl. Just 1.5 miles from Pendeen, its ruins whisper of trade and defiance, a Celtic stronghold under a bruised sky. Fast-forward to 2011, when *Overhill*, a £600 horror flick, turned Pendeen’s cliffs into a chilling star. Shot in four days with local faces, its tale of a writer unraveling premiered at the North Inn, weaving village pride into its spooky threads. Today, hike Chûn Castle’s windswept downs, trace Geevor Mine’s scars, or stalk the South West Coast Path’s rugged edge. A 30-minute jaunt from Padstow, Pendeen beckons—feel its ancient pulse, then curl up in our fisherman’s cottage, harbor lights aglow. Scribble your story with moorland grit on your boots.
