| This parish is in the south-west of Cornwall sandwiched between the parishes of Mylor and St Ithians. The area known as St Gluvias is actually part of the town of Penryn, whose name comes from the Cornish pen rynn, 'end of a point or promontory'. Penryn lies north west of the port of Falmouth and until recently was an active port situated at the head of creek that leads into the sheltered Carrick Roads. The town is behind the main Famouth to Truro road. | |
