Kenneggy Sands

Kenneggy comprises two separate hamlets, Higher Kenneggy (Cornish: Keunegi Wartha) to the west and Lower Kennegy (Cornish: Keunegi Woles) to the east, in Cornwall, England, UK. They are situated in the west of the civil parish of Breage, 5 miles (8.0 km) east of the town of Penzance.[1]

To the south is the beach of Kenneggy Sands, and to the north is the hamlet of Kenneggy Downs.

The name Kenneggy is an anglicisation of the Cornish language keunegi, which means 'reed beds'.[2]
