Chapel on the Hill

You'll spot it before you reach Mount Hawke - a small church sitting alone on rising ground, commanding views across the Cornish countryside. It's the kind of place that rewards a quick detour more than a lengthy visit, but if you're staying at Trevarth Holiday Park or Wrinklers Wood Glamping nearby, it's well worth the short drive. The walk up to the chapel itself is straightforward, and the real draw is the vantage point rather than the building's interior. On a clear day, you get proper views across the moorland that remind you why people settled in this part of Cornwall in the first place. Admission appears to be free, though exact opening hours aren't widely publicised - it's the kind of village church that's often open during daylight but worth checking locally. Allow fifteen minutes to wander around and take in the surroundings; an hour if you're the type who likes to sit quietly and read old gravestones. It works nicely as a pause point between Perran View Holiday Park and Anchor Barrow Campsite if you're exploring the wider area. Don't expect crowds or facilities - there's no café, no visitor centre, just a simple stone chapel and its churchyard. Families might find it a bit dull unless the kids are keen on graveyards and views. Walkers and history types will appreciate it far more. Best visited mid-week in decent weather rather than a rainy afternoon in high summer.
