This place is known for its pub, the Pandora, situated by the beach in Restronguet Creek. The name comes from a place above the beach, however, where there was a small village in times gone by. There is only a farm there nowadays, but it really is a hill-spur like a nose!

It’s great for holidaymakers to go to this lovely pub by boat, but there is something special that is not visible from the water.

Near the farm, there is a memorial from the year 1948 made by Ukrainian people who fled from Russia and found refuge in this area. They lived here in a camp that had been built for prisoners in the recent war. Seventy-four years later, Cornwall opened its doors to the same people.

One more thing: this is not a French place, so you have to say the ‘t’ at the end of the English name!
