About

Towednack, Lelant and Carbis Bay form a compact stretch of coast and countryside on the northern Cornish shore. Towednack sits inland on higher ground with its small parish church dedicated to St Tewennoc and a scattering of field boundaries and lanes; stone crosses and old field names mark a long farming history. Lelant occupies the shore where the tidal channel narrows, with salt marsh and meadows that show how the harbour mouth changed over centuries. Carbis Bay is a curved sand beach backed by gardens and a low headland; the bay’s pebble and sand mix shifts with the tides and is crossed by the coastal path.

Local connections are compact: a short branch railway serves stations at Lelant and Carbis Bay and links the parishes to the wider network, while footpaths thread dunes, fields and shoreline. Small shops, guest accommodation and working farms sit alongside seasonal visitor services. In recent years the bay gained international attention when the coastal hotel hosted the 2021 summit of world leaders, a moment that focused new attention on local transport and shoreline management.
