RAF Perranporth is a World War II airfield located near Trevellas in Cornwall, England, established during the Second World War as a fighter station. The surviving remains at the site include aircraft dispersal pens and associated defensive structures dating from the 1940s, which exemplify the standard layout and construction methods employed at RAF bases during the war. These concrete and earth-work structures were designed to protect fighter aircraft from enemy air attack and ground assault. The site represents an important element of Britain's defensive infrastructure during the critical years of the war, particularly during the period of German air operations over the south-west of England.
