Lower Ninnis is a small village located in the beautiful county of Cornwall in southwestern England. Situated just a few miles inland from the stunning coastline, it is surrounded by picturesque countryside and offers a peaceful and idyllic setting for its residents.

The village itself is home to a tight-knit community, with a population of around 200 people. The houses in Lower Ninnis are predominantly traditional stone cottages, giving the area a charming and rustic feel. The village is known for its well-maintained gardens and colorful floral displays, which add to its overall appeal.

Lower Ninnis is blessed with natural beauty, with rolling hills and meadows nearby, providing excellent opportunities for walking, hiking, and enjoying the great outdoors. The village also benefits from its proximity to the coast, with stunning beaches and rugged cliffs just a short drive away.

Amenities in Lower Ninnis are limited, with a small village shop providing essentials, and a quaint local pub serving as a gathering place for residents. However, for a wider range of amenities, the nearby town of St. Ives is just a short distance away, offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities.

Lower Ninnis is an ideal location for those seeking a peaceful and rural lifestyle, away from the hustle and bustle of city living. Its proximity to both the coast and countryside provides a wealth of recreational opportunities, making it a desirable place to live for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

St. Day: the post office The post office, in Fore Street, retains a traditional looking frontage and unlike many these days is not part of a general village store. There has been a post office in St. Day since 1830.

St. Day: postbox № TR16 62, Fore Street The off-centre positioning of the collection plate is a giveaway that this postbox was designed for a post office frontage - and that is indeed the case, within the window of <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3705996">SW7242 : St. Day: the post office</a>.

Old Railway Track Sections of the track of the Redruth and Chacewater Railway. The track was not laid on wooden sleepers, but rather on granite "chairs" set in the ground. In this shot there are actually two generations of track. Nearer the camera the track is the original style, from when the wagons were horse-drawn. Further from the camera the track is of a heavier cross section, installed when steam locomotives replaced horses.

The Shute The Shute, on the eponymous Shute Hill, flows non-stop regardless of the level of rainfall. Reputedly it has never been known to dry up. The water is believed to originate from ground water under the mass of Carn Marth, to the west, and is potable. People still come to fill containers from it. In days gone by villagers from Carharrack would come here not just to collect water but also to do the weekly wash. Old photographs show the shute looking just the same as it does now.

Farmland on the lower slopes of Carn Marth Looking broadly north east, towards United Downs and the site of the former refuse tip. The white sheds in the distance, near the skyline, are on the United Downs industrial estate. The light coloured field is the site of the former tip, now being grassed over. The house slightly right of middle was once a barn.

Water Bowser on Carn Marth A number of horses, and a small number of cattle, are kept on grazing on the slopes of Carn Marth. There is no piped water supply up here, however, as there are now no dwellings this high up, so livestock owners tend to bring water up in multiple containers in the back of 4x4s and fill up the bowsers which then feed troughs.

Footpath on Carn Marth On the ground there are many more footpaths criss-crossing Carn Marth than appear on the 1:25,000 OS. This makes the area quite popular with mountain bikers, as well as locals wanting exercise for themselves and their dogs.
