Reputed to be one of the oldest villages in Cornwall, Mithian (Cornish: Mydhyen) is a picturesque village, full of character and charm where each building has its own individual story to tell.
The village is served by The Miners Arms, a 16th century pub that has
had many varied uses over the years including a smugglers lair - the pub still has the original smuggling tunnel running under the road to the Old Manor House opposite.
Other buildings in the village are heavily linked to the areas mining heritage, such as the Rose-in-Vale Hotel which is originally thought to have been built as a winter home by Captain John Oates, the owner of the Wheal Leisure Copper mine in nearby Perranporth.
Mithian with its stunning countryside is the perfect setting for a romantic break or a family holiday.
It is also a walkers heaven being perfectly situated for exploring the coastal paths, the captivating history and the beautiful nearby beaches of Trevaunance Cove and Trevellas Porth at St Agnes, Chapel Porth, and Perranporth.
St Agnes, just to the west of Perranporth on the North Cornwall coast was one a thriving mining community. St Agnes is now a perfect base for those wishing to walk the North Cornwall Coastline, or for those interested in its copper and tin mining heritage. The village offers many restaurants, cafes and galleries as well as a free museum on the outskirts. St Agnes Beacon is a 328 foot climb, and on a fine day you can see from coast to coast. The view is spectacular and well worth the climb.
The North Coast contains the best beaches for surfing, Perranporth and Porthtowan are a short drive away and both provide equipment hire. Wheal Coates tin mine, near Chapel Porth is a prominent feature of the North Coast and is the beginning of a trail that continues past many other mining works down to Trevellas, the last tin production site in Cornwall.
This is an absolutely stunning cottage. The bed is so comfy! And the ducks are gorgeous! The cottage has been fitted out beautifully and it is so peaceful. We have had a wonderful time so will definitely be back. The walking was superb.
