Lansallos

Lansallos sits quietly in the civil parish of Polperro in south Cornwall, England. Framed simply by its position on the map, the village occupies a tucked-away spot between the neighbouring settlements of Polruan and Polperro, and lies about five miles (8.0 km) east of Fowey. This gentle location offers a sense of place rooted in Cornwall’s patchwork of small communities. Historically, Lansallos was part of the Liskeard registration district, a reminder of the administrative threads that have shaped the area over time. For the curious traveller or the local explorer, Lansallos represents one of those Cornish villages whose significance comes from context — its parish ties, its neighbours and its nearness to Fowey. With a straightforward, unassuming identity, it invites a slower approach: to note its setting on the road between familiar names, and to appreciate the simple geography and history that define many of England’s smaller settlements.
