Illogan Parish Council

About

The Parish of Illogan is situated between the towns of Camborne and Redruth with Pool to the South and the dramatic Cornish Coast to the North.

Story

Illogan is a Celtic personal name found in both Cornwall and Brittany, and was the name of a Celtic Saint who is thought to have helped bring Christianity to the area and who gave his name to our village church.

The Parish has three wards - Illogan, Tehidy and Park Bottom - and includes both urban and more rural districts. It also contains Tehidy Country Park and an area of the north Cornish coast that is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is part of the Illogan North electoral area which it shares with Portreath Parish and has approximately 4300 electors. At present the Council owns no land but has care and responsibility of a number of plots on lease or licence including Maningham Wood, The Platt and Parsonage Well and the newly formed path leading from Maningham Wood to the St Illogan Churchyard.
