Cornish Place Names in Kernewek (Phase One)

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 will be 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.

This was the first phase of place names covering a three month period and promoted in the Voice newspapers. A new phase of irregular posts will be added as requested by organisations, social groups, schools and colleges. Cornish Place Names - Phase Two
