Probus & Roseland

Probus and Roseland sit in south Cornwall where an inland parish meets the peninsula. Probus is a farming community clustered around the parish church of St Probus and St Grace, whose 15th-century tower marks the skyline. Fields and lanes reflect long-established agriculture, with hedged boundaries, cider orchards and smallholdings. The village retains a school, a village hall and local shops; ties to surrounding towns run along country lanes.

The Roseland Peninsula lies south of Probus between the estuaries of the River Fal and the River Helford. Its coastline has small harbours, rocky coves and sandy stretches, with moorings and inshore boat traffic used by fishermen and leisure crews. Villages such as St Just in Roseland, Gerrans and Portscatho have narrow streets and quay-side space for boats; the church at St Just sits beside a tidal creek ringed by yew trees. Footpaths follow headlands and creek banks, offering working coastal landscape, salt marsh and wooded valleys shaped by tides and past industry.
