Bilberry

Bilberry is a rural hamlet in mid Cornwall, gently tucked on the outskirts of the village of Bugle. Lying approximately five miles north of St Austell along the B3278, this small settlement sits within the distinctive china clay extraction area that has shaped much of the surrounding landscape. Part of the civil parish of Roche, Bilberry offers a glimpse of Cornish country life where lanes meet the wide, industrial-scoured expanses that define this part of the county. Though modest in size, its position on the fringe of village life makes it a quiet, accessible stop for those exploring the heart of Cornwall. With the postcode district PL26 and nestled in Cornwall in the South West region, Bilberry is a reminder of the patchwork of communities—hamlets, villages and parishes—that knit together the county’s character. It’s a place to pass through with an eye for the contrasts of rural settlement and the china clay workings that are part of the area's story.
