A very unspoilt village on the Roseland part of Cornwall. These houses were built by the Trist Family in the early 19th Century and situated at the entrances to the village - these private thatched circular cottages have become a unique feature of Veryan.It was thought that the round shape would guard the village from evil as there were no corners in which the devil could hide.
