Porthmeor

Tucked into the parish of Zennor in Cornwall, Porthmeor is an intimate hamlet made up of just two working farms: Higher and Lower Porthmeor. It’s a place of quiet contrast—Higher Porthmeor sits along the B3306, the coastal road that links St Ives with the A30, while Lower Porthmeor lies closer to the sea. The settlement carries the TR26 postcode district and sits within Cornwall in the South West region. Visitors who come this way should note it is not to be confused with the more famous Porthmeor beach at St Ives; this Porthmeor is a rural, farmstead enclave with a simple, unhurried character. Whether you’re passing along the B3306 or exploring the rugged parishes of west Cornwall, Porthmeor offers a brief, authentic glimpse of Cornish farm life and coastline proximity without the bustle of larger coastal settlements.
