Frogpool

Frogpool is a small hamlet in the parish of Gwennap, tucked into the Cornish countryside. Situated six miles (9.7 km) south-west of Truro and just 1.2 miles (1.9 km) from Perranwell Station, it sits within easy reach of the surrounding towns while retaining a quietly rural character. The Cornish Arms, the local public house, is the heart of the settlement - a place to pause, meet neighbours and enjoy the simple comforts of village life. Until a few years ago Frogpool also had a local convenience store; while that has since closed, the remaining pub continues to speak of the hamlet's everyday rhythms. Visitors passing through by rail or road will find Frogpool a compact snapshot of parish life in Cornwall, with the short journey from Perranwell Station connecting it to broader journeys across the county. Its modest scale and singular pub make Frogpool a memorable, intimate stop for anyone exploring the parish of Gwennap.
