North Hill (
North Hill is a large rural parish on the eastern flank of Bodmin Moor bisected northwest to southeast by the River Lynher. It is bounded in the north by Lewannick parish, on the east by Lezant and Linkinhorne parishes, on the south by St Cleer and on the west by Altarnun.[2] Settlements include the church town of North Hill and Coad's Green, Bathpool, Congdon's Shop, Kingbeare, Middlewood, Illand or Yeiland, and Trebartha. The Trebartha estate is one of four farms mentioned in Domesday Book[2]
Trewortha Farm, a children's outdoor education venue, incorporates a reconstruction of a Bronze Age settlement as well as a medieval village of the same name.[3] The medieval village was excavated by the Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould.[4]
