Botallack

Tucked in west Cornwall, Botallack occupies a quiet stretch of the B3306 that links St Ives to the A30 near Land’s End. Small and characterful, the village belongs to the St Just in Penwith division on Cornwall Council and carries a sense of place that has appealed to visitors and storytellers alike. In the 1970s the BBC’s Poldark used Botallack as a filming location, with Manor Farm doubling as the series’ Nampara, lending the village a brush with television history. Nearby stands the Manor House, part of the Tregothnan estate: a 17th‑century building recognised as Grade II* listed. Whether you’re passing along the B3306 or exploring Cornish heritage, Botallack rewards a curious pause — a compact settlement where architectural history and the echoes of on‑screen drama sit side by side.
