Pillaton (Cornish: Trebeulyow) is a village and civil parish in South East Cornwall, England, UK.
The parish extends to approximately 4.6 square miles, (1,177 hectares).[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 Odulph's, stands at the upper end of the village alongside The Weary Friar, a public house with accommodation, and across the road from the village hall. The church has a west tower and a south aisle. The wagon roofs are old and there is a fine monument of 1772 to James Tillie.[2].
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.
