Welcome to the Roseland Peninsula
Roseland Peninsula whispers where Cornwall holds its breath. Creeks twist past St Just’s church, tides lap St Mawes’ castle, and gulls cry over Portscatho’s nets. No Padstow bustle or St Ives gloss—just salt-worn paths and granite hush, carved by centuries of fishers and saints. Wander King Harry Ferry’s route, sip a pint at The Plume of Feathers, or trace St Anthony’s cliffs, where smugglers’ ghosts linger, per Cornwall Heritage Trust. Roseland’s soul hooked us—Mirrie and husband, tethered to a coastal nook where silence speaks. From St Mawes’ watch to Veryan’s roundhouses, this is Cornwall’s heart, raw and timeless.
