About St Levan
St. Levan parish sits on the south most side of Penwith. Historically the area played a major part in the establishment of international communications, the village of Porthcurno being one of the main locations from which submarine telegraph cables pass beneath the Atlantic Ocean. The cable station proved critical during WWII and as such defences were raised to bring security to the area. The coast beyond Gwennap Head has claimed many ships due to the presence of a pinnacle of rock located one mile south known as the Runnel Stone. Most notable of these was that of the cargo shipSS Westminsterwhich collided with the stone knocking the top clean off. The wreck still lies within a gully to the east. The site, now a marine conservation area popular with divers, can be spotted from the coast as
