Welcome to Cornwood
Cornwood is an English civil parish within the district of South Hams and the county of Devon
Cornwood is a village and civil parish in the South Hams in Devon. The parish of Cornwood consists of two villages, Cornwood and Lutton, plus several hamlets and estates. Situated in the South Hams, the parish is bisected by the Dartmoor National Park boundary, with Lutton just outside and Cornwood just inside the park. With a current population of around 1100 (from the 2011 census) the villages grew up around agriculture and the nearby mines. The current population is of mixed incomes and a middling to aging demographic. The parish has a school and pre-school, church, 2 pubs, post office and village hall, all of which are highly valued. There are many well attended social events scattered through the year including the 10k Run, Flower Festival and Fair in the Square all organised by the church, Christmas Lights illumination along with Big Breakfasts, Orchard events, Coffee Mornings, Luncheon Club and many more excuses to meet up with each other.
