The Location

Colbiggan Farm is set in the quiet rural hamlet of Colbiggan, near Roche in the St Austell area of mid-Cornwall. Surrounded by rolling countryside and farmland, the area features a small cluster of mainly period homes and retains a peaceful, sparsely populated character. The location is steeped in local heritage, with the nearby china clay district shaping much of the area’s history, and has limited but accessible transport links via Roche railway station and local roads connecting to surrounding towns and villages.
