LOCATION (TR19 7QG)

To quote "a hamlet of granite cottages with a great pub high up on the almost treeless heights just 2 minutes from the wonderful spectacular cliff coastline preserved by the National Trust, a fascinating unspoilt, very Cornish area". The coastal footpath provides a dramatic romantic setting and is just a short stroll from the pub. The area has been well visited by Royalty over the decades and centuries with its old ruins of tin mines, one of which runs out ½ mile into the Ocean, mystic legends, castles, all of which are preserved by being part of the Cornwall and West Devon World Heritage Site - most inspiring. Ross POLDARK, the lead character in the TV series POLDARK lived in a farmhouse in the VILLAGE of BOTALLACK with the sea as its scenic backdrop. BOTALLACK lies just 7 miles North West of PENZANCE (of the pirate fame) on the B3306, the main road between Lands End and St Ives, between St JUST & PENDEEN. Little has changed in and around the village over the century however the location is now even more well known and popular as a haven for "SURFERS" who flock to nearby sandy surf beaches including SENNEN COVE. Unopposed in the village the pub has become a focal point and "hub" for the local community and the pub has won several awards and has entries within guides such as CAMRA Good Beer Guide, CAMRA Good Food, Guide Taste of the West, Cornwall Good Food Guide, and Alister Airds Good Pub Guide etc. The pub and village are well served by public transport.
