Philleigh Cornwall Map

About Philleigh

Philleigh, a quiet hamlet in Cornwall, exhales the gentle spirit of the Cornish countryside. It lies 7.1 km south-east of Truro (from Truro: bearing 138°T, OS grid SW 871 393), and is situated south-west of Ruan Lanihorne village. The land hereabouts, a rich loam, seems to hold the sun’s warmth long after the day’s light has softened, lending a golden hue to the surrounding fields. The air, often carrying the faint, briny tang of the nearby Fal estuary, whispers of ancient maritime connections and the enduring rhythm of the tides. Philleigh itself, a cluster of stone cottages and farmsteads, feels like a secret held close by the rolling green hills, a place where the passage of time is measured by the changing seasons and the slow growth of the hedgerows. The church, St. Felix, stands as a silent sentinel, its weathered stones a testament to centuries of devotion and quiet contemplation.
