Situation - Carn Marth lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, nestled between the charming villages of Zennor and Newmill, just 7 miles west of the iconic St. Ives along Cornwall’s rugged north coast. Surrounded by the dramatic landscape of the West Penwith moors, the farm enjoys a peaceful setting framed by breathtaking scenery.

The nearby village of Zennor is home to the historic Tinners Arms pub and the ancient St. Senara’s Church, famous for its carved oak pew linked to the local legend of the Mermaid of Zennor. The coastline in this area is wild and captivating, with secluded coves and towering cliffs offering sweeping views of the Atlantic. Hikers will enjoy the many trails, including the scenic route to Zennor Head, where panoramic views stretch from Trevose Head to Pendeen Watch—and even to the Isles of Scilly on a clear day. Just two miles away along the South West Coast Path lies the celebrated Gurnard’s Head pub, a favorite destination for food lovers. Combining natural splendor, a rich sense of history, and coastal charm, Carn Marth is an idyllic retreat in one of Cornwall’s most spectacular regions.
