About

The Launceston North & North Petherwin ward covers a large rural area in the far northeast of Cornwall, extending to the border with Devon. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, patches of woodland, and scattered hamlets. The ward includes the northern outskirts of the historic market town of Launceston, with its castle and steep, narrow streets, while the majority of its territory consists of agricultural parishes like North Petherwin and Werrington.

The area is defined by its network of narrow, hedge-lined lanes connecting isolated farmsteads and small villages. A notable local feature is the presence of the River Tamar's tributaries, such as the River Ottery, which meander through the valleys. The ward's economy remains closely tied to farming, and the community is served by local institutions like the village hall in North Petherwin, which acts as a social hub for the dispersed population.
