*************
St Agnes (Cornish: Breanek)[1] is a civil parish and a large village on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is about five miles (8 km) north of Redruth and ten miles (16 km) southwest of Newquay.[2]
The village of St Agnes, a popular coastal tourist spot, lies on a main road between Redruth and Perranporth. It was a prehistoric and modern centre for mining of copper, tin and arsenic until the 1920s. Local industry has also included farming and fishing, and more recently tourism.
The St Agnes district has a heritage of industrial archaeology and much of the landscape is of considerable geological interest. There are also stone-age remains in the parish. The manor of Tywarnhaile was one of the 17 Antiqua maneria of the Duchy of Cornwall.on Cornwall's north coast along the Bristol Channel, is in the Pydar hundred and rural deanery.[2][3] St Agnes is situated along the St Agnes Heritage Coast.[4] The St Agnes Heritage Coast has been a nationally designated protected area since 1986. The marine site protects 40 species of mammals and amphibians.[5][6] Interesting features along the coast include Trevaunance Cove, Trevellas Porth, Crams, Chapel Porth, Hanover Cove, and Porthtowan. Some of these have beaches, and there are also two beaches at Perranporth.[7]
The 627-hectare (1,550-acre) Godrevy Head to St Agnes site,[8] is situated along the north Cornwall coast of the Celtic Sea in the Atlantic Ocean. It starts at Godrevy Head (with the Godrevy Towans) in the west and continues for 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the north east, through Portreath, Porthtowan and ends just past St Agnes Head, north of the village of St Agnes.[9][10]
St Agnes Beacon overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and is considered ""the most prominent feature"" of the Heritage coastline, with coastal and inland views that may be enjoyed during hillside walks. The National Trust landmark's name comes from the Cornish name ""Bryanick"".[4][11] ""Beacon"" is a word of Anglo-Saxon origin referring to the use of a hill summit for a warning signal fire.[12] During the Napoleonic Wars a guard was stationed on the hill to look out for French ships and light a warning fire on seeing any.[13]
