The area surrounding the village of Cusgarne.

The stream through Trehaddle.

Traditionally a farming community, Cusgarne is surrounded by farmland and has an excellent organic farm shop.

A stream meanders its way along Trehaddle (see maps) at the foot of Cusgarne Hill, and flows into the Carnon Valley and then into the River Fal.

The Cornish origins of the place name are explained in 'Gwennap: A Descriptive Poem' by William Francis (1845)

'Cusgarne, or the garden enclosed in the wood,
Garne, Cornish for garden is thus understood
Thus showing the land, e'en around to Cusvey,*
Was cover'd with trees....'

*Cusvey, or Cusvean, the little wood.
