The Ludgvan, Madron, Gulval & Heamoor (electoral ward) sits on the western tip of Cornwall, England, wrapping a ring of villages and the suburban area of Heamoor on the fringes of Penzance and not far from St Ives. The landscape moves from green farmland and hedged lanes to low granite ridges with wide views across Mount's Bay, and you can still spot relics of Cornwall's mining past in the surrounding countryside.
The ward is anchored by historic parish churches in Ludgvan, Madron and Gulval, with local quirks such as the ancient well at Madron and visible Cornish crosses; economically it mixes agriculture, tourism and local services, with many residents commuting into nearby towns. Strong local identity, village halls, community events and efforts to conserve the rural landscape help keep social life active across this corner of the Penwith peninsula.
