St. Issey is a small rural parish in north Cornwall, set a few miles inland from the north coast between Padstow and Wadebridge. The surrounding landscape of rolling fields, hedgerows and tidal creeks feeds into the nearby Camel estuary, and its quiet lanes are popular with walkers and cyclists.
Named for an early Celtic saint, the village is centred on a historic church with medieval fabric and a close-knit community; agriculture - traditionally dairy and mixed arable - has long shaped local life, while tourism now contributes through holiday cottages and visitors attracted by the coast and recreational routes such as the Camel Trail. The parish retains a distinctly pastoral, Cornish character with small hamlets, seasonal events and a pace of life that feels a world away from the larger towns.
