*************
St Agnes, on Cornwall's north coast along the Atlantic Ocean, is in the Pydar hundred and rural deanery.[2][4] St Agnes is situated along the St Agnes Heritage Coast.[5] The St Agnes Heritage Coast has been a nationally designated protected areasince 1986. The marine site protects 40 species of mammals and amphibians.[6][7] Interesting features along the coast include Trevaunance Cove, Trevellas Porth, Crams, Chapel Porth, Hanover Cove, and Porthtowan. Some of these have beaches, and there are also two beaches at Perranporth.[8]
The 627-hectare (1,550-acre) Godrevy Head to St Agnes site,[9] is situated along the north Cornwall coast of the Celtic Sea in the Atlantic Ocean. It starts at Godrevy Head (with the Godrevy Towans) in the west and continues for 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the north east, through Portreath, Porthtowan and ends just past St Agnes Head, north of the village of St Agnes.[10][11]
St Agnes Beacon overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and is considered "the most prominent feature" of the Heritage coastline, with coastal and inland views that may be enjoyed during hillside walks. The National Trust landmark's name comes from the Cornish name "Bryanick".[5][12] "Beacon" is a word of Anglo-Saxon origin referring to the use of a hill summit for a warning signal fire.[13] During the Napoleonic Wars a guard was stationed on the hill to look out for French ships and light a warning fire on seeing any.[14]
St Agnes Beacon and the surrounding cliff tops are one of the last remnants of a huge tract of heathland which once spread across Cornwall. This rare and important habitat is internationally recognised for its wealth of wildlifeand from late summer onwards comes alive with colour, forming a brilliant yellow and purple patchwork of gorseand heather.
