Leek Seed Chapel

Tiny granite walls rise from an overgrown patch of Cornish countryside, marking what remains of one of Cornwall's most intriguingly named ecclesiastical sites. The chapel itself is long gone - what you'll find here are weathered stone foundations and fragments that hint at a medieval place of worship with connections to the local seed trade.

History buffs will appreciate the mystery surrounding this site near St Blazey Gate. Local folklore suggests the chapel served travelling merchants dealing in agricultural seeds, though concrete evidence remains elusive. The remains are modest - don't expect soaring arches or elaborate carvings.

Families staying at nearby East Crinnis Holiday Park or Par Sands might combine a visit with a countryside walk, though there's honestly not much to hold children's attention for long. Twenty minutes is probably sufficient unless you're particularly drawn to archaeological fragments.

Access appears to be free, though the site lacks formal interpretation boards or clear signposting. Best approached as part of a broader exploration of the area rather than a destination in its own right. The Eden Project sits just a few miles away, making this a potential quick stop for those already in the vicinity with time to spare.
