Gunwalloe parish church

Gunwalloe (/ɡʌnˈwɒləʊ/ Cornish: Pluw Wynnwalow) is a coastal civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated on the Lizard Peninsula three miles (4.8 km) south of Helston and partly contains The Loe,[1] the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall. The parish population including Berepper at the 2011 census was 219.[2] The hamlets in the parish are Chyanvounder, Berepper and Chyvarloe.[3] To the east are the Halzephron cliffs (the site of many graves of shipwrecked sailors and soldiers) and further east the parish church.[4]

Gunwalloe lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.[5]
