Advent is a small, rural civil parish in north Cornwall, a few miles south of Camelford on the western fringes of Bodmin Moor. Rather than a single nucleated village it comprises scattered hamlets and farms, centred on a longstanding parish church and lanes bordered by granite walls and traditional cottages.
The local economy is largely agricultural, with a modest contribution from holiday lets and walkers exploring the moor and nearby North Cornwall coast, and the area retains a strong, close‑knit community feel; its historic field patterns and vernacular buildings make it a quietly attractive slice of Cornish rural life.
