Kelynack is a small, rural hamlet tucked into the granite countryside of West Penwith in Cornwall, England, a short distance from the dramatic north coast. It’s the sort of place made up of tight-knit cottages, farm buildings and moorland, with easy access to the coastal heath and the South West Coast Path, so walkers and anyone after raw Atlantic views tend to gravitate that way.
The area has a strong mining legacy and sits within the wider historic mining landscape recognised by the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage designation, so engine houses and old workings are part of the local story. Today the local economy mixes agriculture, small-scale tourism and holiday lets, and the community retains a distinctly Cornish character with traditional stone architecture and a sense of continuity with its industrial past. Nearby St Just provides village services while the rural tranquillity keeps Kelynack quietly off the main tourist routes.
