Porthcurno (Cornish: Porthkornow^[1]) is a small village in the parish of St. Levan located in a valley on the south coast of the county of Cornwall, England in the United Kingdom.^[2] It is approximately 9 miles (14 km) to the west of the market town of Penzance and about 3 miles (4.8 km) from Land's End, the most westerly point of the English mainland. Access by road is only available from the north end of the valley along an 'unclassified' spur road off the B3283 'B' class road.^[2] The village comprises houses and apartment blocks together with a few commercial premises located along the access road known as ""The Valley"". There is a small sub post office at the north end of The Valley and the road ends at St. Levan's Church about half a mile further on from the village.^[2] At the southern end of The Valley there is a small hotel, a public car park for about 200 cars, a small seasonal cafe and a public house.^[3] The village is also accessible on foot by the South West Coast Path, being about two hours walk from Land's End or about four hours walk from Penzance for experienced cliff walkers.^[4] There is an occasional bus service linking Porthcurno with Penzance, Lands End and nearby villages and hamlets including Newlyn, Paul, Sheffield, Lamorna, St Buryan, Treen, Trethewey, Polgigga and Sennen.
