Map of the UK

Gerrans sits on the eastern side of the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall, a small, hilly parish with granite cottages and sweeping coastal views. It lies close to the harbour villages of Portscatho and St Mawes and is within easy reach of the South West Coast Path and the city of Truro, making it a quiet base for walkers and boaters.

Locally the community revolves around its historic parish church and a mix of farming, fishing and tourism; summer months bring sailors, holiday rentals and village fêtes. The area’s long maritime history, intact field patterns and conservation-minded residents give Gerrans a distinctly Cornish character appreciated by artists, walkers and those seeking a peaceful coastal life.
