Welcome to the parishes of St Ruan Major,
St Ruan Minor and St Grade collectively known as Grade-Ruan. The parishes
include the villages of Ruan Minor and Cadgwith, and the hamlets of Kuggar
and Poltesco. It stretches north to Goonhilly Downs, south to Landewednack,
west to Predannack and Mullion and east to the sea.
The parishes include the churches of St.Ruan, St.Grade, St.Mary's and
St.Ruan Major (sadly now redundant). Worship services are varied in a wish
to reach all. There is also a Methodist Church with which we have good
relations.
The village of Ruan Minor has a number of shops, a village hall (with a
Thursday market), and a church school. The pretty fishing village of
Cadgwith is a magnet for tourists with its thatched cottages. It lies in a
valley, which goes down to the sea. The village has a public house and a
number of gift shops. Beach barbecues, a fishing festival and a regatta are
held in Cadgwith throughout the summer months.
Kennack Sands is a very popular beach during the summer months. The coast
path winds its way along the easterly side of the parish.
