Bottoms

Bottoms is a hamlet in west Cornwall, England, set within the civil parish of St Levan and positioned five miles (8.0 km) south‑west of Penzance.

Despite its compact size, Bottoms contains St Levan CP School, St Levan's community primary school, a visible sign of the settlement's ongoing life. For those exploring the St Levan parish, Bottoms offers a concise taste of hamlet‑scale Cornwall — a place where local institutions like the primary school mark the community.
