About
Crantock dates back to 460 AD when a group of Irish hermits founded an oratory there. The village lies to the south of the River Gannel forms a natural boundary between the parishes of Newquay and Crantock. Crantock Beach joins the Atlantic Ocean. The older part of the village is situated around its church which is dedicated to St Carantoc founder of the village. At one time the parish was known as Langurroc which translates as – The Dwelling of Monks. There is a Langurroc Road in the village. Langurroc was infamously (among locals) covered up in a sandstorm and may well lie beneath the sand dunes which back Crantock Beach.
