Pelynt is a small rural village and civil parish in southeast Cornwall, England, sitting a few miles inland from the south Cornish coast near the fishing villages of Looe and Polperro. The area is typical of this part of Cornwall, with rolling farmland, hedged lanes and a dispersed pattern of hamlets, and it forms part of a large agricultural parish rather than a single compact settlement.
The village retains a strong sense of history centred on its ancient parish church of St Nonna and a number of old cottages and lanes, while the local economy blends farming with tourism and small local trades. Pelynt attracts walkers and visitors looking for a quieter base close to the coast and traditional Cornish communities, and community life revolves around village events, a village hall and the local inn or shop that serve residents and visitors alike.
