Ellenglaze

Ellenglaze is a hamlet near the village of Cubert, positioned north of Perranporth in Cornwall, England. Compact and quietly sited, it lies close to the edge of Penhale Sands (dunes), where the settlement meets a sweep of sand and open terrain. Visitors arriving from nearby villages find themselves immediately near this distinctive dune landscape: a place that marks a clear boundary between human settlement and the sandy expanse of Penhale. The hamlet’s location makes it an appealing point from which to appreciate the scale and texture of the dunes or to pause and take in the meeting of village and wild. For those mapping a short, contemplative detour from Perranporth or Cubert, Ellenglaze is a small, memorable stop—its name a simple signpost to one of the quieter corners of Cornwall where settlement edges onto Penhale Sands.
