Bohortha

Bohortha is a coastal hamlet in south Cornwall, England, quietly perched on the east side of the Roseland Peninsula. Just two miles south of Portscatho, this small settlement belongs to the civil parish of Gerrans and sits within the TR2 postcode district of the South West region. With its coastal location and peninsula setting, Bohortha offers a gently understated Cornish experience—an appealing pause between busier nearby villages and the wider Cornish coast. Visitors seeking a calm corner of the Roseland will find a place that feels quietly rooted in its landscape and parish community. Whether you arrive from Portscatho or beyond, Bohortha’s identity is tied closely to its position on the east side of the peninsula and to the civil structures of Gerrans. For those compiling an itinerary of south Cornwall, Bohortha is a small, characterful note on the map: modest in scale but unmistakably of this part of the coast, inviting a slower pace and a sense of place within the broader sweep of the Roseland Peninsula.
