Blisland (Cornish: Blyslann) is a village and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is approximately five miles northeast of Bodmin.[1] According to the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 565. This had increased to 608 at the 2011 census.[2]
The parish is entirely rural in character, the northeast being moorland and the southwest lower lying farmland. The parish is bordered to the north by St Breward parish; to the west by St Mabyn and Helland parishes; to the south by Cardinham, Warleggan, and St Neot parishes; and to the northeast by Altarnun parish.[3]
The hamlets of Bradford, Keybridge, Merry Meeting, Pendrift, Tresarrett and Waterloo are in the parish.[4] Blisland is sometimes said to be the only village in Cornwall with a village green,[5] however Herodsfoot and Talskiddy are others.
