About Predannack Wollas
Predannack Wollas sits on the west side of the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall (TR12), a quiet corner of the South West. At its northern edge, where Predannack Downs meet the sea, lies the small Ogo-dour Cove (grid reference SW 667 157). The cove’s name is pure Cornish: 'ogo' meaning 'cave' and 'dour' meaning 'water', giving the evocative literal name "Cave‑Water Cove." This neat etymology hints at the landscape itself—a place where land and sea, stone and stream, meet in one simple phrase. For anyone interested in Cornish place‑names or seeking a sense of place on the Lizard, Predannack Wollas and its Ogo-dour Cove offer a concise, characterful snapshot of the peninsula’s language and geography.
