Roskorroad

Roskorroad is a locality situated in the Cornwall region of England. It is part of the civil parish of St Stephen-in-Brannel, located in the Mid-Cornwall district. The area is characterized by its rural landscape, typical of much of inland Cornwall.

Historically, Roskorroad, like many parts of Cornwall, has been associated with mining, particularly tin and copper extraction. While large-scale mining operations have largely ceased, the remnants of this industrial past can still be observed in the surrounding countryside. Agriculture has also played a significant role in the local economy and continues to be a feature of the landscape.

The settlement itself is relatively small, consisting of a scattering of homes and farms. It is situated a short distance from the larger village of St Stephen-in-Brannel, which provides essential services and amenities for the surrounding hamlets and isolated dwellings. Transportation links in the area are primarily by road, with local routes connecting Roskorroad to nearby settlements and the wider Cornish road network.

The natural environment around Roskorroad is a key aspect of its character. The area is characterized by rolling hills, fields, and woodlands, offering opportunities for walking and enjoying the countryside. The climate is temperate, with mild winters and cool summers, and rainfall is distributed throughout the year. Like much of Cornwall, Roskorroad experiences the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, though it is situated inland.
