Trelawne

Trelawne sits in the parish of Pelynt, Cornwall, a short distance from the coast—20 miles west of Plymouth and roughly four miles west‑northwest of Looe. At its heart is an historic manor that for generations was the seat of the Trelawny family, later styled the Trelawny baronets, one of the most eminent families of Cornish gentry. Much of their influence sprang from control of the nearby pocket borough of East Looe, lending the place a distinctly storied past. Today the surviving grade II* listed manor house, known as Trelawne House, has been reborn for modern visitors as Trelawne Manor Holiday Park, offering holiday accommodation and entertainment within walls that have witnessed centuries of local history. For anyone intrigued by Cornwall’s social tapestry, Trelawne offers a direct line to that heritage: a village scene anchored by a manor whose legacy is both tangible and in active use, where history and hospitality sit side by side.
