St.Mabyn is situated in North Cornwall, between Wadebridge and Bodmin Moor. J.R.A. Hockin in his book, " Walking in Cornwall"
describes it rather unkindly, as having "a huddled, wind-cringing look about it!"
The village is centred on the grade 1 listed 15th century Church of St.Mabena and is surrounded by high quality, undulating farmland.
It's population increased from 510 in 1971 to 595 in 1991 and 635 in 1998 but is now down to 560.
Facilities include a post office/shop “use it or lose it!” a pub, a church, a school, a playgroup, a village hall, a playing field, a green,
a tug o' war team, a garden club and a young farmers group. There are far too many second homes, left empty most of the year,
resulting in a lack of support for the local shop, falling numbers at the local school and sky high property prices!
