Our village nestles in a sheltered valley
on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor, enjoying the mild
Cornish climate and an outstanding community spirit. In 2004 we were voted the Calor
Village of the year, an honour of which we are proud. Following on, we were delighted to received Calor Village of the Decade in 2006 of which we all are very proud!

Our new Community Photo page needs photos! So please come on all you budding photographers, please send us your photos of St Neot, events, people, funny incidents to news@stneot.org.uk
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, flower festival and ram roast. Our
Royalist village still celebrates the restoration of
Charles II each May with Oak Apple Day. There are also
numerous concerts held in the slate caverns, church
and amphitheatre.
The coast can be reached in twenty minutes.
Within and around the parish you will find plenty to
interest you. The area is rich in history
and legend with a church famous for its medieval stained glass windows, a holy
well, Bodmin Moor abounding in archaeological remains,
Jamaica Inn and the magic Dozmary Pool, in which lies
King Arthur’s sword. Nature lovers will enjoy walking on the moor
or along the river up to Golitha Falls, taking advantage
of the local trout and salmon fishing or just relaxing
in the Doorstep Green, a garden created by the villagers
in 2004.
During any extended stay in our village
you will be welcomed into the community
and 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. If the sun is shining you could spend an
afternoon watching a village cricket match.
We hope
you will visit St Neot.
We are sure you will return. |
