Pensilva

The original small settlement grew quickly during the nineteenth century in response to industrial activity on the moorland north and west of the village.

Caradon Hill is heavy with ancient mineshafts and engine houses dating from the 1900s.

The Millennium House in Pensilva is a community owned social centre built in 1999.

Over the years it has waxed and waned in popularity and the incumbent small bar has changed from a club to a pub in that time.

It is the location of the part-time Post Office and a volunteer-run café is open during PO hours.
