About

Lynher ward covers a primarily rural expanse in eastern Cornwall, centred on the valley of the River Lynher. The area includes the small town of Callington and several surrounding villages and hamlets, such as Stoke Climsland and South Hill. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and scattered settlements, with agriculture remaining a key part of the local economy.

The River Lynher itself is a significant tributary of the Tamar, with its course shaping the local geography. Transport links include the A388 road, connecting the ward to larger centres like Launceston and the A38.
