Blathur is situated in the Padiyoor Grama Panchayat in Iritty Taluk, on the edge of an estimated 90 acre paddy field, and is 169 meters above sea level.

The protest against the Madras Special Police (Kavumbayi Struggle) took place in the village on 30 December 1946.

Blathur is conveniently located between several prominent townships and municipalities.

This accessibility makes Blathur easily reachable from these areas and suggests strong potential for development.

The nearest railway station is Kannur on Mangalore-Palakkad line.
