St Teath
Inland village between coast and moor
St Teath is a village about 3 miles north of Camelford, set in the rolling farmland between the north Cornwall coast and Bodmin Moor. The village has a medieval church dedicated to St Tetha, a pub - the White Hart - and a primary school. It sits at a crossroads of lanes that connect the A39 coast road with the B3266 toward Bodmin, making it a practical base for reaching both coast and moor.
Port Isaac and its harbour are about 5 miles to the northwest, Tintagel is roughly 5 miles to the northeast, and the open moorland around Rough Tor and Brown Willy starts about 4 miles to the south. This central position means most of north Cornwall’s main attractions are within a 20-minute drive. The Camel Trail at Camelford is the nearest section of the cycling and walking route that follows the old railway line down to Padstow.
Holiday properties around St Teath are mostly converted agricultural buildings - barns, farmhouses, and stable blocks - with the rural setting offering more space and quiet than the coastal villages. The village is not on the tourist trail, which keeps it genuine and unhurried. Camelford has a small supermarket and basic shops, while Wadebridge (about 8 miles south) has a wider range of services including a cinema.
