Twelveheads at a glance

A clear starting point for Twelveheads

Twelveheads isn't your typical bustling Cornish seaside town, but a quiet, deeply rural hamlet nestled in a verdant valley. Here, the air hums with a peaceful tranquility, yet the landscape whispers tales of a robust industrial past. It’s a place for quiet reflection, surrounded by ancient woodlands and the gentle murmur of the Kennall River

The name Twelveheads itself hints at a rich mining heritage, believed to derive from twelve 'heads' or stamps of a crushing mill once vital for processing ore from the local mines. This small village was at the heart of Cornwall's booming tin and copper industry, a hive of activity during the 18th and 19th centuries.
