Lanivet

Lanivet is a village and civil parish in Cornwall, England, set approximately 2½ miles (4.0 km) southwest of Bodmin. It sits quietly but with an intriguing role in travel: before the Bodmin by-pass was built, the A30 road between London and Land's End ran straight through the village, threading Lanivet into the historic artery that links the country. Today walkers find Lanivet close to the course of the Saints' Way long-distance footpath, which passes the village near its half-way point, making it a natural pause for those journeying across Cornwall on foot. As both a parish hub and a waypoint on a celebrated walking route, Lanivet offers the kind of modest Cornish presence that invites curiosity. Its proximity to Bodmin places it within easy reach while keeping the calm of village life. For anyone tracing the older lines of travel across Cornwall — by road in the motor age and by foot on the Saints' Way — Lanivet is a quietly significant stop.
