Otterham at a glance

A clear starting point for Otterham

Otterham nestles deep in North Cornwall's verdant embrace, a truly rural gem where time slows to the rhythm of the seasons. Ancient hedgerows whisper tales, and the air carries a refreshing hint of wild moors and not-so-distant crashing waves. This unhurried pace, brimming with authentic Cornish charm, offers a tranquil escape.

Otterham, meaning "Otter's Ham" or "settlement by an otter river," has roots stretching well beyond the Domesday Book where it was recorded as "Otreham." Its history is deeply intertwined with the land and the parish church of St. Denis, a striking structure with Norman origins, a granite tower, and beautifully preserved features speaking of centuries
