Pillaton is a village and civil parish in South East Cornwall, England, UK.
The parish extends to approximately 4.6 square miles, (1,177 hectares) and is administered by Caradon District Council.[1] It is bounded by the Parishes of St Mellion and St Dominic to the north, the River Lynher to the west, Botus Fleming to the south and Landulph to the east. The population is around 500 of which 366 are on the electoral register. About 70% of the people live in the village itself. The church, St Odulphs, stands at the top of the village alongside The Weary Friar, a Public House with accommodation, and across the road from the village hall.
Land use in the parish is dominated by farming, although less than 10% of resident workers are employed in this industry. The majority of residents work outside the parish, and Pillaton is effectively a dormitory village for people employed in Plymouth and South East Cornwall.
