Little Petherick (Cornish: Nansfenten) is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of St Issey, in the Cornwall district, in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated two miles (3.2 kilometres) south of Padstow and 6 miles (9.7 kilometres) west of Wadebridge.[1] Little Petherick lies in the valley of Little Petherick Creek, a tidal tributary of the River Camel: however, upstream of Little Petherick the creek ceases to be tidal. The village straddles the A389 Wadebridge-Padstow road which crosses the creek at the east end of the village on a Grade II listed 19th century bridge.[2] In 1931 the parish had a population of 178.[3] On 1 April 1934 the parish was abolished and merged with St Issey.[4]
