Colan Cornwall Map

About Colan

Colan, a Cornish settlement, breathes the quiet air of the South West. It lies 5.0 km west-south-west of St Columb Major (from St Columb Major: bearing 240°T, OS grid SW 868 612), and is situated east-north-east of Quintrell Downs village. The land around Colan rolls with a gentle, persistent grace, the kind of terrain that has long encouraged husbandry and quiet contemplation. Its church, St Colan’s, stands as a sturdy sentinel, its stones worn smooth by centuries of weather and devotion, and within its walls, a sense of enduring peace can be felt. This modest collection of homes and fields, where the light often spills across the countryside with a pale, almost ethereal quality, speaks of a life lived at a pace dictated by the seasons rather than the clock. The very air here seems to carry a faint, earthy perfume, a blend of damp soil and distant gorse, hinting at the ancient agricultural roots that bind Colan to its Cornish heritage.
