Our Facilities & Attractions

The parish oozes charm and character in equal measure, something the Parish Council and residents work hard to maintain, from the picturesque packhorse bridge by St Nonnas church, a variety of traditional cottages to Altarnun village hall which houses the local shop and post office. There is also a lovely tea room in the heart of Altarnun village, noted as a 'hidden gem'. The surrounding moorland has a fine network of superbly maintained footpaths offering spectacular views and a good workout! Thanks to the adjacent A30, road links are outstanding and the local bus network services provide frequent travel options to Bodmin, Launceston and beyond on a frequent basis. For route details, refer to Local Bus Services under our 'Useful Links' menu.

The Parish boasts a reputable primary school and pre-school, a Duchy Premier League football club, adult and youth organisations and other sporting clubs. Almost bordering the parish, Trethorne Golf Club is just a few miles east on the A30. For details of other local clubs, organisations and services please go to our 'Useful Links' menu.
