Cury is a small rural parish tucked on the southern edge of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, characterised by rolling farmland, pockets of heath and easy access to the region’s rugged south‑coast cliffs and footpaths. Its setting offers the mix of agricultural lowlands and dramatic coastal scenery that attracts walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
The village takes its name from the parish church dedicated to St Corentin and has a long history visible in ancient crosses and a medieval church tower; economically it remains largely agricultural with a sprinkling of holiday accommodation and small enterprises that support local tourism. Social life centres on village events and the village hall, giving Cury a quietly close‑knit community while remaining within reach of larger Cornish towns for services.
