Pendeen (from (コーンウォール語:Penn Din), otherwise known as ''Boskaswal Wartha'')〔(Place-names in the Standard Written Form (SWF) ) : (List of place-names agreed by the MAGA Signage Panel ). Cornish Language Partnership.〕 is a village on the Penwith peninsula in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is north-northeast of St Just and west of Penzance.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 203 ''Land's End'' ISBN 978-0-319-23148-7〕 It lies along the B3306 road which connects St Ives to Land's End and the A30 road. The village has (a community centre ), a shop, a post office, a primary school, and a few small businesses. Community activities include an art club, (a gardening club ), silver marching band and a football club. Nearby settlements include Carnyorth and Trewellard and the historic Geevor Tin Mine is immediately north of the village. The village gets its name from the headland on which Pendeen Lighthouse stands, a mile from the village. Like many other Cornish villages near the coast, Pendeen had a reputation for smuggling activities. Pendeen is overlooked by a hill, Carn Eanes, referred to locally as 'The Carn', the site of a quarry which provided the granite to build Pendeen church. Pendeen lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. Pendeen is close (1km) to the South West Coast Path and in addition has a number of local footpaths for exploring the surroundings. Some of these paths are documented in (Pendeen Walks ) ==Origins== The parish Pendeen was formed in 1846 from a number of settlements in the eastern part of the parish of St Just. Pendeen comprised the settlements of Portheras Cross, Boscaswell Downs, Lower Boscaswell and Trewellard. Before that time "Pendeen" would have been taken to mean the eponymous headland or Pendeen Manor, birthplace of Dr. William Borlase, rather than the village. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pendeen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
