Gunnislake sits in the steep-sided valley of the River Tamar in Cornwall, England, and feels like a classic post-industrial Cornish village: narrow streets, old mine workings and engine houses tucked into the hills, a lively riverside and the terminus of the scenic Tamar Valley Line railway. Its mining past and proximity to the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty give it plenty of walking, cycling and heritage interest, while a handful of cafes, pubs and local businesses cater to visitors and commuters alike.
St. Ann's Chapel is a small village a few miles from Gunnislake, historically tied to the same mining and rural economy and now home to a tight-knit community of residents who often commute to nearby towns. It’s a quiet place appreciated for easy access to the countryside and valley trails, with the social life centred on village facilities and occasional local events rather than tourism, making it representative of many smaller settlements in the Tamar Valley landscape.
