Morwenstow
Just inside Cornwall, Morwenstow
derives it's name from the Irish Saint Morwenna who
is said to have brought Christianity to the parish.
A more recent religious figure associated with the
area was the Reverend Robert Hawker. A famously
eccentric poet and opium smoker, he is remembered
locally for his humanity as pastor to the parish
and more widely by fact that he initiated the
celebration of Harvest Thanksgiving.

Though relatively
isolated Morwenstow has a vibrant
community life. The Bush pub and
restaurant, which recently changed hands,
offers excellent food made from locally
produced meat and vegetables. Nearby The
Rectory Tea Rooms are famed for their
unsurpassed cream teas.
