Rumford Cornwall Map

About Rumford

Rumford, a settlement of quiet character, rests in the verdant folds of Cornwall. It lies 5.7 km south-south-west of Padstow (from Padstow: bearing 199°T, OS grid SW 897 701), and is situated north-east of St Eval village. The air here carries a faint, saliferous tang from the nearby Atlantic, a subtle reminder of the sea's enduring influence, and the lanes that wind through Rumford are often softened by a particular Cornish light, one that seems to linger longer on the ancient stone walls. Though no grand monuments mark its past, the very stones of its cottages seem to whisper tales of generations who have coaxed a living from this land, their labours etched into the gentle slopes that cradle the hamlet. The fields surrounding Rumford possess a rich, deep loam, yielding crops that have sustained its inhabitants through the ages, a continuity that lends a profound stillness to the landscape.
