Talland (Cornish: Tallan, lit. 'hill brow church site')[1] is a hamlet and ecclesiastical parish and former civil parish, between Looe and Polperro, now in the parish of Polperro, in the Cornwall district, on the south coast of Cornwall, England (the parish includes the eastern part of the village of Polperro, where there is a chapel of ease and formerly also the town of West Looe). It consists of a church, the Old Vicarage and a few houses. In 1931 the parish had a population of 768.[2] On 1 April 1934 the civil parish was abolished and merged with Lansallos, part also went to form Looe.[3]
On Talland Bay are two sheltered shingle beaches, Talland Sand and Rotterdam Beach, and the bay was once well known as a landing spot for smugglers. There are several small beaches in Talland Bay, served by a small car park and café. There is also Talland Bay Hotel.[4] Two towers mark one end of a nautical measured mile, the other end is marked by two towers near Hannafore, West Looe.[5]
