North Cornwall (Cornish: An Tiredh Uhel[3]) is an area of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is also the name of a former local government district, which was administered from Bodmin and Wadebridge 50°30′58″N 4°50′06″W / 50.516°N 4.835°W. Other towns in the area are Launceston, Bude, Padstow, and Camelford.
North Cornwall is an area of outstanding natural beauty that is of great geological and scientific interest. It includes the only part of Cornwall that is formed of carboniferous rocks, the northern area of North Cornwall District. The rest of the district lies on Devonian sedimentary strata and the granite of Bodmin Moor. A similar area is covered by the North Cornwall parliamentary constituency.
