How to get to Aleister Crowley’s house

Head towards a small village not far from St Ives in West Cornwall called Zennor.

Park in the small car park in the Zennor. A donation of £1 to park is requested. There is also limited on-street parking available. Please bear in mind Zennor is a very small village and gets inundated with tourists during the holiday season.

The main car park in the background

I can highly recommend having a pint of the local stout by the roaring fire in the Tinners Arms.

Follow the road around past the pub and church and head up out of the village back onto the main road.

Follow the beaten path up the gradual hill.

Walk over the steps and cross the field.

Stick to the more natural-looking path on the right, don’t pass through the gap in the wall on the left.

Continue on the path until you get to this gap in the stone wall.

Wander past the rocky outcrop and look to your right, You should see Aleister Crowley’s house in the near distance.

Here it is in all its glory. You can climb over the barbed wire here or carry on walking along the wall to where eventually you can follow the path around to the back of the house.

Evidence of squatters in recent times.

666 the number of the beast!!!!!!

Someones had a tidy up recently. Those bottles in the plastic box used to be arranged on the shelf over the fireplace.
