Malpas, Cornwall

Malpas is a riverside village, and former port, in the civil parish of St Clement, in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

[1] The village is a popular centre for boating with navigable waterways to Truro, Falmouth and the sea.

Historically, Malpas is known for its ferry service to the Roseland peninsula and there is a myth that this crossing was used by Iseult.

[2][3] Ships were built in Victorian times from Messrs Scoble's boat yard and timber was discharged here.

The Truro River from the city to the village form part of the Malpas Estuary SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest).
