Perranarworthal is a small village and civil parish in Cornwall, England, set in the county’s characteristic patchwork of farmland, wooded valleys and hedgerows. The name contains the familiar Cornish "Perran" element associated with Saint Piran, and the settlement expanded in the 18th and 19th centuries with small-scale mining and milling; remnants of that industrial past sit alongside attractive rural scenery.

Today Perranarworthal has a close-knit community with a village hall, pub and local groups, and many residents combine agriculture, local services and commuting to larger centres; the area is popular with walkers and anyone interested in Cornwall’s industrial heritage and quiet countryside.
