Bolventor toponymy

The hamlet has been said to take its name from the ‘Bold Venture’ that it must have appeared to build a farm in this moorland. This is probably folk etymology, as “Bol-” is a common prefix in Cornish placenames. It is much more likely that the name derives from a tin-working area which was in operation near Jamaica Inn during the 1840s-1850s.
