Kenneggy Downs is a hamlet on the A394, in the civil parish of Breage, between the towns of Helston and Penzance in Cornwall, UK. It is 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Penzance.[1] Kenegy is Cornish for bogs.[2]

The Grade II listed, 18th-century public house the Coach and Horses was extended in the 19th century and was originally an inn on the turnpike between Penryn and Penzance. Built into the fireplace is a circa, early 19th-century granite milestone with the inscription ″From Helston 1".[3]

On 3 September 1879 a tenement was sold by auction at Kanneggie Downs.[4] Kenneggy Downs is north of the twin hamlets of Kenneggy.[1]

There is also a Kenegie at Gulval, near Penzance.
