The current UK government has asked Post Office Ltd, to rationalize their post office network. As a result over two thousand post offices have been chosen for closure, St Neot is one of them.
The information Post Office have used to justify our closure is flawed. For example they say the population within one mile of the Post Office is 281. Where as the true figure is nearer 500

holiday. Within the village you have a choice of excellent
accommodation. The
teashop offers delicious homemade teas and the pub has
an enticing, varied menu. Whether you visit in summer

ranging from the pantomime in February to the summer
carnival, fetes, flower festival and ram roast. Our

numerous concerts held in the slate caverns, church
and amphitheatre.
St Neot is an ideal touring centre
for Cornwall. 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.
