St Breward

Tucked into the western flank of Bodmin Moor, St Breward is a welcoming village and civil parish that embodies a quietly rural Cornish life. About six miles (10 km) north of Bodmin, it offers a sense of space and easy proximity to the moorland that defines this corner of the South West. The parish community recorded 919 residents at the 2011 census, a total that includes the neighbouring hamlets of Cooksland and Fentonadle, and reflects a small, closely knit population. Located in the PL30 postcode district within the county of Cornwall, St Breward feels like a place where village rhythms and moorland horizons meet. Whether you’re passing through or lingering longer, the village’s setting on the edge of Bodmin Moor provides a quietly dramatic backdrop — one that invites slow exploration and appreciation of the region’s distinctive landscape and local character.
