Discover Saint Tudy

Saint Tudy can be explored from several angles: through the Grade I listed parish Church of St Uda, the history of The Clink, a restored village pump and the circular “St Tudy to Wetherham” walk. This mix is useful when planning your trip if you want to choose a place for more than just one activity. The church, pump and The Clink offer insights into local history, while the walk provides a direct connection to woodland and seasonal blooms. This lets you weigh up whether you want your stay to focus more on architectural history or time outdoors.

Church, village pump and The Clink

The Church of St Uda is a Grade I listed parish church. Its listed status offers a concrete point of interest if you are interested in architectural and local history. The old village pump stands opposite the church in the centre of St Tudy; it was restored for the millennium. The church provides a clear landmark for the pump, while the pump, as a distinct feature in its own right, offers a different focus from the religious building. This makes it possible to distinguish between a protected church building and a restored local feature when looking around the village centre.

The Clink also adds to the local history through its former and current uses. The building was later used as a schoolroom and as a parish prison, or lock-up; today it serves as community rooms. Its history therefore includes both a former purpose and a present-day community function. For travellers who want to trace how a place has developed through the uses of its buildings, The Clink offers a different perspective from the Church of St Uda. The lower floor of The Clink can be rented.

Landscape and circular walk

The parish of St Tudy covers around 3,257 acres of rolling farmland with wooded areas. This figure broadens the view beyond individual buildings and gives the landscape its own scale. At the same time, “rolling” and “wooded” describe two different characteristics of the area: its terrain and its vegetation. When choosing your destination, this rural setting complements the local history with a focus on the landscape.

The “St Tudy to Wetherham” circular walk is a specific option for spending time outdoors. It passes through the grounds of the 18th-century Wetherham Manor and through attractive woodland around Wetherham. Bluebells bloom in these woods in spring, giving the walk a distinct seasonal highlight. Its circular route is a useful feature for planning: it sets the walk apart from an out-and-back route with a return journey that must be planned separately. The walk is available in the iWalk Cornwall app for Apple and Android devices. Before your trip, check whether it is still available there and check local path conditions before setting out.
