St. Eval is a small, rural parish on the north coast of Cornwall, in England, tucked among rolling farmland and heath with occasional glimpses of the Atlantic. The landscape is a patchwork of hedged fields, small hamlets and lanes, with easy access to popular coastal spots such as Padstow and Newquay, which help draw visitors for surfing and seaside holidays.
Its character was shaped in the 20th century by the presence of RAF St Eval, a wartime Coastal Command base whose remains and local stories still mark the area; agriculture remains important today, supplemented by holiday accommodation and small-scale tourism. The parish retains a close-knit community feel centred on the church and village amenities, and is noted for its quiet, maritime-influenced countryside rather than any urban bustle.
