The old market town of St Columb Major has a rich and fascinating history as can be seen from some its splendid architecture, some of which is attributed to the famous Cornish architect Silvanus Trevail. Located at the centre of the town is the beautiful old church with its 15th Century tower dedicated to the local Saint Columba. The town is famous for its twice yearly ‘Hurling’ contest, a medieval game played with a silver ball. Today the town is well placed for travelling, with its central location to the County. The well-known town of Wadebridge which hosts the annual Royal Cornwall Show is approx. 7 miles to the north along the A39 and to the south-west the holiday and surfing mecca, Newquay, is just 6 miles distant, featuring some of the finest sandy beaches in the country. Furthermore, a short 5 minute drive will take you to the A30, just over 3 miles away at Indian Queens, meaning the major towns of St Austell on the south coast is just 12 miles distant and the County town of Truro is 15 miles distant. Newquay airport with its wide variety of national and international destinations is again less than 10 minutes away.
