Blisland is a village and civil parish in the North Cornwall district of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, about five miles north of Bodmin. According to the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 565.
Its fifteenth century church is dedicated to Saints Hyacinth and Protus.
The derivation of the placename is unclear - the earliest known form is Bleselonde in 1284. This appears to include the Old English land meaning estate, the first element is however obscure.[1]
Blisland School is located just outside Blisland in a hamlet named Waterloo on the edge of Bodmin Moor.
