Welcome to the parish church of St Gennys: St Gennys in the Anglican Diocese of Truro and county of Cornwall England.
Few churches in Cornwall can rival St. Gennys for its setting. Tucked under the lee of the cliff, and thus protected from the Atlantic gales, the church and its sloping graveyard command one of the finest views in North Cornwall, over Bude Bay and up the Bristol Channel to where Lundy Island can be seen.
