Welcome to St Hilary

St Hilary is a small village located in the west of Cornwall, England. It is situated on a hilltop overlooking the beautiful countryside and the Atlantic Ocean. The village is known for its historic church, St Hilary Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade I listed building and is considered one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in Cornwall. The church is also home to a rare 15th-century rood screen, which is adorned with intricate carvings and paintings.

The village of St Hilary is surrounded by stunning countryside, with rolling hills, lush green fields, and picturesque villages. The area is popular with walkers and hikers, who come to explore the many footpaths and trails that crisscross the landscape. The village is also close to some of Cornwall's most beautiful beaches, including Porthcurno, Sennen Cove, and St Ives. These beaches are popular with surfers, swimmers, and sunbathers, and offer some of the best views in the county.

St Hilary is a peaceful and tranquil village, with a strong sense of community. The village has a small primary school, a village hall, and a pub, The Old Inn, which dates back to the 16th century. The pub is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, and serves up traditional Cornish food and drink. The village also hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a summer fete, a Christmas fair, and a scarecrow festival. These events bring the community together and help to preserve the village's unique character and charm.

Location what3words lyricism.grips.pelting

The Knap
This Is A Very Varied Walk. Start At The Beach - It Is Very Pebbly And Steep But The Dogs Love Sniffing Around In The Rocks For Little Bits Of Fish Or Crab. After That, Walk Along The Coastline Up The Grassy Path To See The View From Watch House Bay. I Then Recommend Heading Back Towards The Beach To A Street Called Bron-Y-Mor. There You’Ll Find Some Really Dog Friendly Cafes Where You Can All Get A Drink. Glan Hafren Maes Y Coed Barry CF62 6TA 6.63 miles

Private Beach, Just £3.00 To Park With Cafe. Marcross 6.80 miles Car Park £3.00 For The Day But I Camped Overnight For £15. There Is A Cafe With Rude Grumpy Owners. Views From Clift Top. Walk Down Onto Beach Which Is Rocky At The Start But When Tide Is Out There Is A Long Sandy Stretch Under The Cliffs. There Are A Couple Of Loops Out Along The Clifts And Back Round To The Car Park - Some Very Large Styles That You Would Have To Lift Dogs Over.
