Scorrier Christian Fellowship

The small whitewashed chapel at Scorrier Christian Fellowship sits quietly off the beaten track near Mount Hawke, the sort of place you'd stumble upon by accident while driving through rural Cornwall. It's a working church, modest and unpretentious, with the kind of peaceful atmosphere that comes from genuinely serving a tight-knit community rather than chasing tourist footfall.

Inside, it's simple - wooden pews, clear glass windows letting the Cornish light pour through, and the sort of stillness that makes you want to whisper. If you're into church architecture or the history of Nonconformist Christianity in Cornwall, there's genuine interest here. For everyone else, it's a nice five-minute stop if you're exploring the area around Mount Hawke, though it won't occupy you for long.

Coming here makes most sense as part of a wider ramble through the quieter corners of mid-Cornwall. You're well-positioned if you're staying at Lanyon Holiday Park or Anchor Barrow Campsite - both excellent bases - and it pairs nicely with a walk around the local lanes. Perran View Holiday Park is equally convenient.

Be honest with yourself though: this isn't a main attraction. It's the sort of place that rewards those deliberately seeking out local religious heritage, or walkers who appreciate a moment of calm between longer countryside stretches. Check locally before visiting - opening times and access aren't straightforward, and you'll want to be respectful of actual worship schedules.
