Morwenstow, Cornwall

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

An attractive coastal village just a few miles north of Bude. Morwenstow is famous for its eccentric Victorian vicar, RS Hawker, who built a hut out of driftwood into the side of the cliffs, where he would compose poetry. Among his most famous compositions was The Song of the Western Men, with its refrain, 'And shall Trelawney die?'. Hawker's church is superb, with Norman carvings and pillars. Paths lead along the clifftops in both directions, offering superb views.
