Portscatho, Roseland Peninsula, Cornwall

Portscatho is a coastal village on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village adjoins Gerrans (the villages have almost merged into one but retain their identities) on the east side of the peninsula, about seven miles south-southeast of Truro.

 

Portscatho lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.

 

Porthcurnick Beach, a south east facing sandy cove, owned by the National Trust, is just north of Portscatho.
