Milltown

Milltown is a tiny hamlet in Cornwall that offers a quietly appealing corner of the county. Lying within Lanlivery civil parish and carrying the PL22 postcode district, Milltown sits about a mile south of Lostwithiel. It occupies the gentle valley of a small tributary of the River Fowey, where the landscape narrows and the pace of life feels pleasantly measured. Visitors passing through will notice the intimacy of a place defined less by landmarks than by its setting: the valley, the close presence of water, and proximity to the market town to the north. For those exploring Cornwall's South West, Milltown provides a brief, atmospheric contrast to busier spots. Its scale invites slow walking and a momentary step away from main roads—an opportunity simply to appreciate countryside contours and tranquil ripples in a tributary of the Fowey. Though small, Milltown's position within Lanlivery parish and its nearness to Lostwithiel make it an appealing, quietly authentic stop on any Cornish itinerary.
