St Tudy is a tranquil village with pretty cottages and the odd craft shop and a beautiful 15th Church made from Delabole slate. St Tudy gets its name from Tudy of Landevennec who was a Breton saint of the 5th or 6th century. He was a hermit who founded monasteries in Brittany and Cornwall. The village of St Tudy in Cornwall is named for him. Île-Tudy, on the mouth of the Odet, is also named after Tudy of Landevennec. Tudy=(Tudi, Tudec, Tudinus, Tegwin, Thetgo).
St Tudy village lies in the parish of St Tudy close to the western edge of Bodmin Moor in North Cornwall. St Tudy is a picture postcard village, which has a long and distinguished history.
The village grew up around the original Celtic graveyard (God’s acre) which now is home to the superb Grade 1 listed parish church and a ‘Clink’ building of some note.
An ideal location for exploring both coastal and inland areas St Tudy is on the doorstep of Bodmin Moor and only two miles away from the start of the Camel Trail near Poley’s Bridge / Shell Wood. Whilst the coastal outpost of King Arthur at Tintagel and the harbour villages of Port Isaac and Boscastle are all within a short drive. |
