Helland is a small, quietly rural parish in mid-Cornwall, located a short distance north of Bodmin. It sits among rolling farmland and wooded valleys on the edge of the moorland country that characterises the interior of Cornwall, with narrow lanes and hedgerows giving the area a distinctly tranquil, pastoral feel.
The settlement’s history is visible in a traditional parish church and scattered stone farmsteads; agriculture has long provided the local economic backbone while many residents now commute to nearby towns. The community is small and close-knit, with an interest in local heritage and countryside pursuits, and the lanes and footpaths around Helland make it a pleasant spot for walkers exploring inland Cornwall.
