3About Gwennap
Gwennap lies in Cornwall's former mining heartland, reached via the A393 between Redruth and Falmouth or through Truro on the A39. The village sits among gentle hills dotted with old mining settlements like Lanner and Carharrack. With over 60 EV charging points nearby and RNAS Culdrose helicopter base close by, it's well-connected despite its rural setting. The remarkable Gwennap Pit, a natural amphitheater where John Wesley preached to Methodist crowds, remains the village's most famous landmark.
