About

The area is largely made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with views opening out over Mount's Bay. Local life centres on its high street, which serves the community with independent shops and essential services.

A notable landmark is the distinctive Egyptian House on Chapel Street, its stucco facade a remnant of the 19th-century Egyptian Revival style.
