Twelveheads

Twelveheads sits quietly east of St Day in west Cornwall, England, a hamlet framed by the gentle sweep of Cornish countryside. Nestled in the parish of Chacewater, it occupies a tucked-away spot between the cathedral city of Truro and the mining town of Redruth, offering a sense of place rooted in local parish life. For those exploring Cornwall’s quieter corners, Twelveheads presents a chance to pause and appreciate a rural moment—an intimate settlement where the rhythms of village life are visible in the lanes and fields that link it to its neighbours. Its location, straddled between larger settlements, makes Twelveheads feel both sheltered and connected: a small destination that whispers of the wider landscape of west Cornwall while remaining unmistakably itself.
