Restormel (Cornish: Rostorrmel)[3] was a borough of Cornwall, England, one of the six administrative divisions that made up the county.

[4] The motto of the borough, in Cornish, is Ro an mor hag an tyr, meaning "From the sea and from the land".

It recognises the borough's connection with the sea (fishing and tourism) and the land (china clay and agriculture).

Restormel is twinned by oath, which used to be accessible to view in the council offices[5] in St Austell, with Kreis Dithmarschen.

[clarification needed] In March 2009, Restormel Borough Council was accused by spending watchdog the Audit Commission of "negligence" for putting money into Icelandic banks days before they went bust in October 2008.
