Cardinham

Tucked into mid Cornwall, Cardinham is a civil parish and village that feels quietly rooted in the county’s landscape. It sits approximately three-and-a-half miles (6 km) east-northeast of Bodmin, making it an easy detour for anyone exploring central Cornwall. The parish itself is made up of a constellation of small communities: the hamlets of Fletchersbridge, Millpool, Milltown, Mount, Old Cardinham Castle and Welltown all belong to Cardinham, each lending its own local character to the area. With its postcode district of PL30 and location in the South West region of England, Cardinham offers a gentle, accessible base from which to experience Cornwall’s quieter corners. Whether you are passing through or planning a longer stay, the village and its surrounding hamlets invite you to slow down and take in a distinctly Cornish rhythm of life.
