Welcome to Canonstown

Canonstown is a small village located in the west of Cornwall, England. It is situated between the towns of Hayle and St. Ives, and is just a short distance from the beautiful beaches of the north coast. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and farmland, making it a peaceful and picturesque place to live or visit.

Despite its small size, Canonstown has a strong sense of community. There is a local pub, The Engine Inn, which serves traditional pub food and hosts regular events such as quiz nights and live music. The village also has a primary school, a post office, and a small convenience store. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, there are plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling, and horse riding in the surrounding countryside.

One of the main attractions of Canonstown is its proximity to some of Cornwall's most popular tourist destinations. The town of St. Ives, with its stunning beaches and art galleries, is just a short drive away. The historic town of Penzance, with its famous promenade and art deco lido, is also within easy reach. For those who want to explore further afield, the rugged coastline of Land's End and the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole are both within an hour's drive.
