About

Poundstock ward lies in the rural northeast of Cornwall, centred around its historic parish church. The area encompasses scattered hamlets and farmland, with the landscape characterised by rolling fields and wooded valleys that slope towards the Atlantic coast. The ward includes the small settlement of Poundstock itself, along with areas like Millook and Wainhouse Corner, maintaining a quiet, agricultural character away from major tourist centres.

A notable feature is the 15th-century St Neot's Church, which houses a rare and well-preserved rood screen. The coastline here includes the dramatic, folded rock strata of Millook Haven, a site of specific geological interest. The Gannel River flows through the southern part of the ward, adding to the area's network of small watercourses and quiet lanes.
