Illogan Cornwall Map

About Illogan

Illogan, a Cornish heartland, breathes the quiet dignity of a place shaped by earth and industry. It lies 2.8 km west-north-west of Redruth (from Redruth: bearing 286°T, OS grid SW 674 429), and is situated north-north-west of Illogan Highway village. The land around Illogan slopes with a subtle generosity, its fields often catching the pearly light that spills from the Atlantic, a light that seems to have a particular fondness for the weathered granite of its older buildings. Once a hub for the tin mining that defined this region, the echoes of that industrial past are still felt, not as scars, but as a deep, resonant memory in the very ground beneath one's feet, a history etched into the very character of Illogan. The village green, a generous expanse, often hums with a gentle, unhurried energy, a place where the present day unfolds with a quiet grace, far from the clamour of busier centres.
