GeographyThe village is on a peninsula between the Helford River and Gillan Harbour on the west side of Falmouth Bay, five miles (8 km) south of Falmouth and seven miles (11 km) east of Helston at {{gbmapping|SW 782 256}}.[3] It largely consists of a church and holiday lets owned by a local holiday company that is based in the village{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}}. The peninsula ends at Dennis Head, the site of an early Celtic fortress.[4] The parish is divided by Gillan Harbour and the tidal Gillan Creek. The village and parish church are on the north side of Gillan Harbour. South of the harbour are the hamlets of Carne, Flushing (not to be confused with the larger village of Flushing north of Falmouth) and Gillan, and further inland the small ancient settlements of Boden and Trewarnevas. The South West Coast Path runs along both shores of Gillan Harbour, and crosses Gillan Creek on stepping stones only passable at low tide. The path then rounds Dennis Head and leaves the parish on the south shore of the Helford River. St Anthony-in-Meneage lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. Parish churchThe parish church is dedicated to St Anthony and is situated near Gillan Harbour. It is medieval though parts are of different dates, a window in the chancel (Early English) is the earliest and the north aisle with an arcade of plain octagonal piers somewhat later. The tower was built in the 15th century of granite blocks at the west end. The font is ornamented with angels and a Latin inscription and is probably of the 15th century.[5] BosahanBosahan House was a late 19th-century country estate with a large house, which was demolished in the 1950s and replaced by a smaller house.[6][7][8] In the 1880s the estate covered {{Convert|295|acre}} in the parishes of St Anthony, Manaccan and Constantine. Put up for auction in 1882 with a reserve price of £24,000, the house was described as a ″fine residential mansion″. Also included in the sale were the three farms of Halvose, Passage and Treath (about {{Convert|197|acre}}) as well as some fishing and ferry rights on the River Hal.[9] Bosahan Garden is open to visitors. It was developed by the Grylls family and by Arthur Pendarves Vivian who took over the estate in 1882.[10] In The Gardeners' magazine it was described as ″the most Cornish of all Cornish gardens″ in 1909 and had been developed over the previous 25 years.[11] References1. ^ONS Census 2001: Neighbourhood Statistics 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/Cornwall/StAnthonyinMeneage/index.html#Population|title=Parish population 2011|accessdate= 12 February 2015}} 3. ^Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 204 Truro & Falmouth {{ISBN|978-0-319-23149-4}} 4. ^Genuki website 5. ^Pevsner, N.
