St. Keverne is a village and large civil parish on the eastern edge of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, set between rolling farmland and a rugged Atlantic coastline. The parish stretches to include small coastal hamlets such as Porthallow and Porthoustock, and sits in a distinctive serpentine geology that draws walkers and geologists to the Lizard National Nature Reserve and the South West Coast Path.
The village core centres on a medieval parish church and a handful of pubs and community facilities, reflecting a long history of farming, pilchard- and lobster-related fishing and, increasingly, visitor services. Local life feels close‑knit and traditionally Cornish, with wildlife-rich shores, archaeological traces of earlier settlement and a quiet, rural economy that blends heritage, outdoor recreation and small‑scale local industry.
