Perran Round is an Iron Age settlement featuring the remains of several stone roundhouses, set within a circular earthwork enclosure. This site provides a tangible connection to Cornwall's ancient past, where visitors can explore the low stone walls that once supported thatched roofs. The layout gives a clear sense of community life nearly two millennia ago. Surrounded by open farmland, it's a quiet, atmospheric place that invites contemplation of how people lived in this region before recorded history.

Don't miss
