Bofarnel is a small village located in the county of Cornwall, England. Situated in the picturesque countryside, it is nestled amidst rolling hills and lush green fields. The village is situated about 6 miles west of the town of Truro and is easily accessible by road.

Bofarnel is known for its charming and idyllic setting, with traditional stone-built cottages lining its narrow streets. The village is home to a close-knit community, with a population of around 300 residents. The locals take great pride in their village, and the well-maintained gardens and colorful flower displays are a testament to their care and dedication.

One of the main attractions in Bofarnel is its historic church, St. Mary's. Dating back to the 13th century, this beautiful medieval church is a prominent feature in the village. Its architectural details, including the intricate stained glass windows and the ancient stone carvings, make it a must-visit for history enthusiasts.

Nature lovers will appreciate the surrounding countryside, which offers ample opportunities for hiking and exploring. The nearby Bodmin Moor, with its rugged landscapes and ancient stone circles, is a popular destination for outdoor activities.

Although Bofarnel is a small village, it is conveniently located within reach of larger towns and cities. Truro, the county capital, offers a range of amenities including shopping centers, restaurants, and leisure facilities. Bofarnel is also within driving distance of Cornwall's stunning coastline, with its sandy beaches and picturesque fishing villages.

In summary, Bofarnel is a quaint and peaceful village that offers a slice of rural charm in the heart of Cornwall. With its beautiful countryside, historic church, and proximity to larger towns and the coast, it is a wonderful place to visit or call home.
