A Guided Tour of Chysauster Ancient Village
About this Event
As part of the 2026 Heritage Open Days Festival, we are inviting you to join our expert volunteer for a free guided tour of this fascinating site, looking at the lives of those who once inhabited the village. Also exploring the purpose of fogous across Penwith and the tin trade. You will be exploring one of the best examples of a Roman-British village in Britain. Between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD, some 50 to 70 people lived here on a ‘village street’ of nine stone-walled ‘courtyard houses’, a type of building found only in west Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
The tour will take place on Tuesday 15 September at 1:00 pm and will last approx 1.5 hours. Meet at the car park.
