Engollan

Engollan is a hamlet five miles (8.0 km) south‑west of Padstow, tucked into the Cornish landscape of England’s South West. Small in scale and strong in identity, Engollan belongs to the civil parish of St Eval and sits within postcode district PL27 in the county of Cornwall. Its close proximity to the well‑known fishing port of Padstow locates Engollan within easy reach of a wider network of coastal and rural places yet it retains the compact character suggested by the term “hamlet.” Mentioning Engollan evokes the narrower lanes and local sense of place that define many Cornish settlements, while its official ties—to St Eval, to PL27 and to Cornwall—anchor it on maps and in local administration. For those tracing a route through the South West, Engollan presents itself simply: a named place on the Cornish map with clear bearings and parish affiliation. Its geography and postal identity together make Engollan an unmistakable point of reference for exploring this corner of Cornwall.
