Westdowns

Tucked into north Cornwall, Westdowns is a small hamlet with its own quiet identity. Located half a mile south‑west of Delabole, it sits on the B3314 road and is sometimes regarded as part of its larger neighbour — yet Westdowns remains a distinct settlement. Its close proximity to Delabole means visitors can easily explore both places, with Westdowns offering the charm of a compact hamlet set within the Cornish landscape. Whether passing along the B3314 or lingering to take in the immediate surroundings, Westdowns rewards the curious with a sense of place that feels resolutely local. For those tracing the lanes of north Cornwall, it’s a brief, authentic detour that underscores how many small communities here retain separate identities even when geographically near one another.
