Pendoggett (Cornish: Penndewgos)[1] is a village in the civil parish of St Kew, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is a linear village stradding the B3314 Wadebridge to Delabole road about five miles (8 km) northwest of Wadebridge, four miles (6.5 km) southeast of Delabole, and two miles (3 km) southeast of Port Isaac.[2]

Pendoggett has a population of about 175 people. The name means head of two woods in Cornish; 'Penn' meaning head, 'dew' meaning two and 'goes' being a mutation of 'koes' which means wood. The Cornish Arms is a 16th-century inn.[3]

Pendoggett 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.
