Manaccan is a rural village on the Lizard Peninsula in south Cornwall, near the Helford River. The Lizard Peninsula is well known for its amazing seascapes and rare plant species, a great place to visit if you love nature and walking. Interestingly, the village name is derived from the Cornish "Manaccan," meaning "Monks' Church," reflecting its ecclesiastical past. Manaccan is a quintessentially Cornish village that reflects other villages on the Lizard, with narrow lanes and traditional Cornish stone cottages.
Nearby Frenchman’s Creek is a secluded inlet made famous by Daphne du Maurier’s novel of the same name, is within walking distance and there are other nearby villages, such as Helford and St. Anthony-in-Meneage that are very similar and worth exploring. Manaccan has a traditional pub, The New Inn, known for its cozy feeling, local ales and great food. There are also local shops and a few holiday cottages in the village and surrounding villages plus other holiday parks on the Lizard if you can’t find anything suitable here.
