The parish of Altarnun lies on the eastern side of Bodmin Moor and covering 15,014 acres is the largest in Cornwall. From rugged moorland in the west, to the unspoilt villages of Altarnun and Bolventor, which boasts the world renowned Jamaica Inn, onto picturesque hamlets and farmland in the east, the heart-warming diversity of rural Cornwall is reflected here. As an immensely proud community we endeavour to protect, preserve and improve our environment for the benefit of all. Our on going aims are to help influence the provision of sufficient affordable housing for local people, road safety and traffic management improvements, upgrade our infrastructure and generally improve our environment. In the last few years we have installed a public access defibrilator at Five Lanes, built public conveniences in Altarnun and a bus shelter in Bolventor.
