About

The Illogan & Portreath ward encompasses a former mining parish and a coastal village on Cornwall's north coast. The area includes the historic settlements of Illogan and Bridge, inland, and Portreath on the sea. The landscape is characterised by remnants of the industrial past, with engine houses and spoil heaps dotting the inland areas, alongside agricultural land. Portreath serves as a small harbour and popular surfing beach, providing a coastal focus for the community.

The geography is defined by steep valleys leading down to the rocky coastline. The area is traversed by the Portreath Tramway, a notable historical inclined plane that once transported ore from inland mines to the harbour. This industrial heritage is integral to the local identity. Community life centres on the villages, with local facilities and events reflecting the blend of inland and coastal interests within the ward's boundaries.
