St Columb Major, often simply called St Columb, is a town in Cornwall, located about seven miles southwest of Wadebridge and six miles east of Newquay. The town is named after Columba of Cornwall, a 6th-century saint, and its 'Major' designation helps distinguish it from the nearby village of St Columb Minor. The town and its surrounding parish areas offer a glimpse into rural Cornwall life, with a population of 4,688 recorded in the 2021 census. The built-up area of the town itself houses 3,679 residents, providing a small yet vibrant community feel. The landscape around St Columb is characterised by its rolling countryside, making it an attractive spot for those who appreciate a quieter pace of life amidst picturesque settings. The proximity to Newquay also means that while residents can enjoy the tranquility of a small town, they are not far from the amenities and attractions of a larger coastal town. St Columb Major offers a balance of rural charm and accessibility to nearby urban areas, appealing to those who wish to live in a community with a strong historical identity and a connection to Cornwall's natural beauty.
