Welcome to Polyphant

Polyphant is a small village located in the county of Cornwall, England. It is situated on the eastern edge of Bodmin Moor, which is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The village is known for its picturesque countryside, historic buildings, and friendly locals. Visitors can explore the village's narrow streets, quaint cottages, and charming gardens, or take a stroll along the nearby River Inny.

One of the most notable landmarks in Polyphant is the village church, which dates back to the 15th century. The church is dedicated to St. Pol de Leon, who is the patron saint of the village. It features a beautiful stained glass window, a bell tower, and a peaceful churchyard. The church is open to visitors throughout the year, and regular services are held for the local community.

Polyphant is also home to a number of small businesses, including a post office, a village store, and a pub. The pub, called the Polytunnel Inn, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. It serves traditional pub food and local ales, and often hosts live music events and quiz nights. The village store is a great place to pick up essentials, and also sells locally sourced produce and gifts. The post office provides a range of services, including postal and banking services, and is a vital part of the community.
