St Levan is situated in the Deanery and Hundred of Penwith. It was originally part of, and has been closely connected with, the parish of St Buryan. It is bordered by St Buryan to the north, the ocean to the east and south and Sennen to the west. The parish is 10 miles west of Penzance. Porthcurno, on the south coast, was the site of the first cable laid across the Atlantic. Not far from Porthcurno is the Minack Open Air Theatre, built into the cliffs by Rowena Cade in 1932, which has the ocean as a backdrop to the stage. The main village is Teryn (or Treen).
A tribute to those brave people of Cornwall who served or laid down their lives in both World Wars and subsequent conflicts.
