Cornish Place Names in Kernewek (Phase Two)

Cornish place names in Kernewek is a project to encouraging greater use of these place names in everyday life. These will vary from names of towns and villages to places throughout Cornwall and ancient monuments and sites of interest. 

A poster is available to download with the place names in Kernewek and English and there will be an audio link to each of the Cornish place names to help with pronunciation.

We hope this will be of benefit to people who are interested in Cornwall’s historic and cultural heritage and that more people will refer to places using the Cornish language name in everyday life.

The first phase of place names covered in a three month period was promoted in the Cornish Times, Cornish & Devon Post and Voice newspapers and now continues with Phase Two.

• Clicking the audio file will give a pronunciation followed by a gap and then repeated. Combined gives all the places.
• Clicking » links to Henwyn Tyller (Place Names) providing meaning of the place name if known and more information.
