Poughill at a glance

A clear starting point for Poughill

Poughill whispers tales of old Cornwall. This truly rural idyll, tucked just inland from the wild Atlantic coast, offers an authentic slice of tranquil village life. Forget the crowds; here, ancient hedgerows frame verdant fields, and the air hums with peace. It's a place to breathe deep, stroll quiet lanes, and feel the gentle pulse

Poughill's roots run deep, far predating the bustling seaside resorts nearby. Its heart is undoubtedly St. Olaff's Church, a beautiful medieval structure with parts dating back to the 13th century, dedicated to a Norwegian king. The village has long been a quiet agricultural hub, its prosperity tied to the land rather than the dramatic mining
