- Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Cornwall, Veryan exudes timeless charm and a distinctively tranquil ambiance that beckons visitors seeking an authentic English village experience. This hidden gem is known for its unique round houses, a captivating architectural marvel, Veryan Cornwall presents a blend of history, tradition, and natural beauty.
The village's distinctive round houses, constructed in the early 19th century by a local eccentric, add a whimsical touch to the countryside. These thatched cottages, five in total, each boasting a conical roof and a quirky charm have become a symbol of the village.
The story behind their construction varies, with one legend suggesting that Jeremiah Trist, a sea captain, wanted to eliminate corners to prevent the devil from hiding. Regardless of the folklore, the round houses have become synonymous with Veryan Cornwall, attracting curious visitors and photographers alike.

Thank you for showing this. I've never been to England. But from what I've seen from videos and English tv, I am enchanted by these villages. I've fallen in love with the country side. Thanks again from across the water.
Our pleasure! There are so many incredible places to see in the UK and Cornwall is full of amazing little villages and amazing coastline too. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and for letting us know that you enjoyed it. Take care. Rob
I am watching in Pennsylvania , USA . Cornwall deserves it`s reputation for being SUPER CHARMING !!
Wow - it is amazing that people are watching our videos in the USA. Thanks for taking the time to let us know that you enjoyed the video. It is so good to know where people are watching from.
What a lovely little village.
We thought so too :)
Thank you for sharing another great video of a lovely looking Cornish village😊
Our pleasure!
Great way to make use of an old phone box ❤
We have seen these boxes being used in new ways in a number of places including for plants and seeds, tourist information, Defibrillators, arts and crafts. Thanks for your comment :)
That's a cute little town!
We thought so too. The church yard contains the longest grave in the UK. The grave contains the bodies of 15 sailors who died. On the night of 1st February 1914 the Hera, a German cargo ship on her way to Falmouth was shipwrecked. They were buried head to foot beside a boundary hedge. The grave is roughly 30 metres long (98 feet) making it the longest in the UK. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video.

Hi Wayfarers 🤗!
I enjoyed your video of Veryan and it’s gems quite a lot and it was very soothing and calming, but for me (as in my own individual pov), no explanations or descriptions at all is just a little too little!
I sure wouldn’t mind to learn what I see 😘!
But don’t worry, you certainly earned my subscription anyway 🤗😘!
Thank you for taking the time to watch our Veryan video and for your valuable feedback. The video description contains information on the place we are walking around. Some people prefer info in the description while others like it displayed as subtitles during the walk - we try to switch it around on different videos. Thank you for subscribing 👍
Love the birds! Thanks for this it's marvellous. Greetings from Australia. I love Cornwall. Been there a couple of times.
Glad you enjoyed it Elvira. Cornwall is a place that just keeps calling you back for another visit. Thank you for choosing to watch one of our videos. Rob
Thank you.
You're welcome!
on the island of islay off the west coast of scotland there is a medieval church at bowmore village which is circular, i asked the minister why and he told me so the devil can't hide in the corners,
Ah yes. Veryan's vicar and local land owner Jeremiah Trist had the round houses built at both entrances to the village. It was thought that the round shape would guard the village from evil as there were no corners in which the devil could hide! It's amazing that two ministers at opposite ends of the country thought the same thing. Thank you for watching Patrick and your comment is really interesting. Rob
I like those two dome shaped buildings with the crosses on the top.
There are two round houses at each end of the villages - they were to stop evil entering the village. They were built by the vicar of Veryan, Jeremiah Trist. They were made round so there are no corners for the devil to hide in. Thanks for watching Carl.
@thewayfarerswalk Thanks for that interesting information. I live in New Zealand and I have never been to the UK.
If you ever do come to the UK then Cornwall is an amazing place to explore!
@thewayfarerswalk I would love to visit Cornwall. When I was at high school in the 1970s I had a British school friend. His family came here to live from London . His father got a job at Auckland International Airport after working at Heathrow Airport. My friends name is Keith , and he would talk about trips his family would make on holiday to Cornwall.
There was one near where I used to live,sadly it was destroyed by lightening,the locals fought for it to be listed and brought back to it's former glory but it was turned down by the council.so sad ,it in was near midge hall near Preston..there are archive photos of it online x
That is a real shame. These buildings are unique and part of our local history and should be protected. Thank you for letting us know and we really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.
That is heaven
Cornwall’s is littered with chocolate box houses and higgledy piggledy cobbled streets - We are so fortunate to live so close to such an amazing part of the UK. Thank you for watching Ann
Odd. All the thatch seems to be much thinner than in other parts of England
That's an interesting observation! The thatching styles can vary quite a bit by region. Veryan's unique architecture definitely adds to its charm. Have you seen other thatched villages that you liked?
@@thewayfarerswalk a few - Dullingham near Newmarket has several thatched houses, it's rather beautiful.
Aldbourn in Wiltshire near Lambourn has several
Thank you. We will check them out when we are in those areas 👍
@@thewayfarerswalk there's a photograph of a thatched house in Rievaulx in North Yorkshire which looks like its got a winter duvet of thatch, it's that thick
If you Google :
thatched Rievaulx
you'll see it
