Drift

Tucked along the A30 in west Cornwall, Drift is a small village that feels delightfully out of the way yet remarkably connected. Part of the civil parish of Sancreed, Drift offers a quiet Cornish base just two miles (3 km) west of Penzance and about six miles (9 km) from the far reaches of Land’s End. Its location on the main road makes it an easy stop for those exploring the dramatic coastline and hinterland of the South West, while its position within Cornwall gives a true sense of place. Whether you’re passing through on a coastal jaunt or seeking a peaceful vantage from which to plan nearby excursions, Drift’s gentle presence amid this storied landscape is an invitation to slow down and savour the journey. The village sits within the TR19 postal district, and its setting in the county of Cornwall anchors it firmly in one of England’s most beloved regions.
