Norway Inn Perranarworthal, Cornwall, TR3 7NU

  • 3 bedrooms

Historic charm between Truro and Falmouth

There is much more to The Norway Inn than its unexpected name. This historic Cornish inn in Perranarworthal dates back to at least 1829, with its name thought to recall the Norwegian ships that once brought timber to nearby Perran Wharf for Cornwall’s tin mines. Today, it is a welcoming pub where local heritage sits comfortably alongside hearty Cornish food, three comfortable bedrooms and plenty of reasons to explore beyond the front door. Its position on the A39 between Truro and Falmouth makes it particularly handy. You can spend the morning exploring Cornwall’s cathedral city, head towards Falmouth and the coast for the afternoon, then return to the pub for fresh Cornish seafood, local ale, and a comfortable night’s sleep. The head of Restronguet Creek and the Fal Estuary are close by too, with countryside walks starting from the doorstep.
