St Agnes is one of Cornwall’s most characterful coastal villages, with a rich history shaped by mining, maritime trade and its dramatic north coast setting. The village grew around its medieval church, with the surrounding landscape later becoming closely associated with Cornwall’s world-famous tin and copper mining heritage.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, mining played a major role in the growth and identity of St Agnes. The surrounding moorland and coastline still carry visible reminders of this industrial past, including engine houses, mine workings and historic buildings that reflect the area’s importance during Cornwall’s mining era. At Trevaunance Cove, the historic harbour was once used to ship copper ore to Swansea for smelting, with coal brought back on the return journey.

Alongside its mining heritage, St Agnes has long been admired for its natural beauty, coastal walks, beaches and strong village community. Its blend of historic character, rugged scenery and modern Cornish lifestyle continues to make it one of the county’s most desirable and distinctive locations.
