Altarnun is one of those places where time seems to linger; a place where the air just tingles with a sense of history. There was a village here long before the Norman Conquest, but the first written records come from the Domesday Book of 1086, when it was called Penpont, after Penpont Water, which flows through the village on its way to the River Inny.
The village High Street The parish is the largest in Cornwall, taking in over 15,000 acres, at least 8 hamlets, and the village of Fivelanes as well as Altarnun itself.
