Towednack

Towednack is a quietly inviting churchtown, hamlet and civil parish tucked into Cornwall’s South West. Anchored by its church — located about two miles (3 km) from St Ives and six miles (10 km) from Penzance — the settlement feels intimate yet well placed for coastal rambles and days out. The parish sits within the TR26 postcode district and is bordered by a ring of familiar Cornish neighbours: Zennor to the west, Gulval to the south and Ludgvan to the west and south. To the north and east, Towednack meets St Ives and the Atlantic Ocean, giving the parish a direct relationship with the coast without ever feeling crowded. Whether you arrive seeking calm, a base close to St Ives, or simply a snapshot of Cornwall’s quieter lanes and parish life, Towednack’s compact presence in the county offers a gentle, authentic Cornish pause between well-known towns.
