This is the official website for the parish of

St Neot in Cornwall. The website is owned by the Parish Council.

The Cornwall Councillor for the parish is

Our village nestles in a sheltered valley on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor in south east Cornwall, enjoying the mild Cornish climate and an outstanding community spirit.

Back in 2004 we were voted the Calor Village of the year.  We were delighted to receive  Calor Village of the Decade  in 2006  of which we are all still very proud!

Within the village you have a choice of excellent accommodation. Whether you visit in summer or winter, try to take in one our many events, ranging from the pantomime in February to the summer carnival, fetes and flower festival. Our "Royalist" village still celebrates the restoration of Charles II each May 29th with Oak Apple Day. There are also numerous concerts held in Carnglaze Slate Caverns (and other attractions there also), the Church and the amphitheatre in Doorstep Green.

The latest of our many projects in the village is the Cott Barn Project. This project will convert an existing barn in the centre of the village into a Community Resource Centre. Work is in progress for carrying out both the structural building work and the equiping of the Community Archive Room. Follow this link to view progress photos.

The coast can be reached in half an hour. Within and around the parish you will find plenty to interest you. The area is rich in history and legendwith our Church famous for its medieval stained glass windows, the Holy Well near-by. Bodmin Moor abounds in archaeological remains, the well known Jamaica Inn and the magic of Dozmary Pool, in which lies King Arthur’s sword are all within our parish boundary.

Nature lovers can enjoy walking on the moor or along the riverbank by Golitha Falls. You could also take advantage of the local trout and salmon fishing or just relax in the Doorstep Green, a garden created by the villagers in 2004. How about a walk along the shore of Colliford Lake?

During any extended stay in our village you will be welcomed into the community and be able to join in with Church or Chapel services, visit the monthly produce market or attend a meeting of one of our many clubs and societies such as the Ramblers, the Local Historians, the Welcome Club or the Women’s Institute. You could visit the Age Concern "Pop-in" on a Wednesday morning and enjoy a cup of coffee while chatting to one of us! If the sun is shining you could spend an afternoon watching a village cricket match.
