Carnyorth is a village of granite cottages set in the moorland of West Penwith.
Formerly a mining community, Carnyorth Mine was worked up until 1862 producing copper ore and black tin. In 1865 it was 123 fathoms below adit, employing 111 people.
Today Carnyorth is a quieter place and the mines are reminders of a bygone age when Cornwall dominated the world with its mining activities.
Carnyorth from the Cornish language is believed to be an association of the words for a rocky outcrop and a deer.
