VERYAN AND PORTLOE
The Roundhouses mark the entrances to Veryan - a village of particular
charm. The pride taken in the village by its inhabitants is there for
all to see.It boasts a Sports Pavilion with provision for tennis, cricket,
bowls and a children’s playground. The Indoor Bowling Green is a prime
example of community co-operation and is a must for the visitor.
Roundhouses, Veryan
Built by the Trist Family in the early 19th Century and situated at the
entrances to the village - these private thatched circular cottages have
become a unique feature of Veryan.It was thought that the round shape
would guard the village from evil as there were no corners in which the
devil could hide!
Gala week in mid-July is a bonanza of local colour culminating in a parade
through the village.
Portloe is
the living reality of a Cornish fishing village. The boats unload lobster,
crab and other fish. Pretty cottages cluster around the harbour and stretch
up the valley on both sides. The village caters for the hungry and thirsty
visitor with a local pub, hotel and restaurant producing excellent fare.
