Kelynack is a hamlet in western Cornwall, on the Penwith Peninsula approximately four miles north-northeast of Land's End and just a mile south of St Just.
The hamley is to be found running along the B3306 road which connects St Ives to the A30 road, and is the last settlement before the road joins the A30.
Kelynack was mentioned in the Domesday Book where it was listed as Chelenoc, and as the Tithing of Kelynack in the Assize Rolls of 1284.[1]
Kelynack is within the 'Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', as is almost a third of the county.
