Waterloo at a glance
Tucked away amidst emerald fields, Waterloo is less a bustling village and more a hushed embrace of rural Cornwall. Here, the air carries the scent of wild gorse and a faint whisper of salty breezes from the nearby coast. It's a place where time slows, perfect for those seeking profound peace, enveloped by ancient hedgerows
The name 'Waterloo' itself is a fascinating historical echo, believed to have been bestowed by a returning soldier or landowner in the years following Wellington's famous victory. While never a grand mining hub, this area historically supported smaller tin and copper ventures, with cottages springing up to house those working the land and local industries.
