Welcome to Ponsanooth

Ponsanooth is a small village located in the county of Cornwall, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles southeast of the town of Redruth and 8 miles northwest of the city of Falmouth. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks, including the Ponsanooth Viaduct, which was built in the 19th century and is now a popular tourist attraction.

One of the most notable features of Ponsanooth is its rich mining history. The village was once a hub for the tin and copper mining industries, which were vital to the local economy in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, visitors can explore the remains of the old mines and learn about the area's industrial heritage at the Poldark Mine and Heritage Centre. The village also has a number of traditional pubs and restaurants, where visitors can sample local cuisine and enjoy a pint of Cornish ale.

Despite its small size, Ponsanooth is a vibrant and welcoming community, with a range of local events and activities taking place throughout the year. These include the annual Ponsanooth Carnival, which features a colourful parade through the village, as well as live music, food stalls, and other entertainment. The village also has a number of sports clubs and community groups, including a cricket team, a football team, and a gardening club, which provide opportunities for locals and visitors alike to get involved in the community and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of this charming Cornish village.
