St. Agnes sits on the rugged north coast of Cornwall, encompassing a stretch of cliffs, coves and farmland with the South West Coast Path running through it. The village overlooks Trevaunance Cove and is close to popular surf beaches such as Chapel Porth and Porthtowan, while the rounded hill of St Agnes Beacon provides panoramic views and is a well‑known local landmark.
The area has a strong mining legacy, with 18th–19th century engine houses and spoil heaps that speak to Cornwall’s industrial past and give the coastline a distinctive character. Today the local economy leans on tourism, outdoor pursuits and a lively small business and arts scene, alongside a close‑knit community that balances year‑round residents with holiday homes and seasonal visitors.
