About Lamorna
Lamorna, a name with Cornish origins, evokes the charm of the coastal village, valley, and cove it represents. Its etymological roots may lie in either nans, meaning "valley," combined with mor, meaning "sea," or in lann, meaning "area around a church," combined with morlanow, meaning "high tide."
The name gained popularity through the folk song "Way Down to Lamorna," which celebrates the picturesque beauty of the Cornish landscape. It also appears in W. H. Davies' poem "Lamorna Cove," capturing the serene ambiance of this natural haven.
