Welcome to Black Cross

Black Cross Cornwall is a historic site located in the village of Lanivet, Cornwall. It is a granite cross that stands at the junction of two ancient roads, one of which was the main route from Bodmin to Fowey. The cross is believed to date back to the 9th or 10th century and is thought to have been used as a waymarker for pilgrims travelling to the nearby St. Petroc's Church. The cross is also known as the Lanivet Cross and is a Grade II listed monument.

The Black Cross is a simple yet striking structure, standing at over 10 feet tall. It is made of granite and has a rough-hewn appearance, with no decorative carvings or inscriptions. Despite its simplicity, the cross has a powerful presence and is a testament to the skill of the craftsmen who created it. The cross has survived for over a thousand years and is a tangible link to Cornwall's rich history and heritage.

Today, the Black Cross is a popular tourist attraction and is visited by thousands of people each year. It is a symbol of Cornwall's ancient past and is a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. The cross is also a place of pilgrimage for those seeking spiritual solace and is a testament to the enduring power of faith. The Black Cross is a unique and important part of Cornwall's history and is a must-see for anyone interested in the county's rich cultural heritage.

Local Dog Walks

Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
