About Frogpool

Frogpool sits along the Cusgarne Road in the heart of Cornwall. As a former mining hamlet in mid-Cornwall, it attracts both visitors and through traffic heading to Cusgarne and Bissoe. Cornish Arms and Frogpool village are the main draws. Frogpool's lanes are narrow and unsigned in places — local knowledge is essential to reach broken-down vehicles quickly. We've been recovering vehicles from these roads for years.
