About

The Crowan, Sithney & Wendron ward encompasses a rural inland area of west Cornwall, characterised by a dispersed settlement pattern of villages, hamlets and farmsteads set within a landscape of rolling farmland and wooded valleys. The geography is defined by the upper reaches of several river systems, including the Cober and the Loe Pool catchment. Agricultural land use is predominant, with a mix of dairy and arable farming shaping the open fields and hedgerows.

The area retains a strong industrial heritage from its historic mining activity, particularly for tin, with engine houses and other remnants visible in the landscape. The parish of Wendron is notably home to the Poldark Mine, a preserved tin mine offering underground tours. Community life is centred around the local villages and their parish churches, with the area providing a quiet, working environment distinct from Cornwall's coastal tourist hubs.
