About

Egloshayle (Cornish: Eglosheyl, meaning church on an estuary) is a civil parish and village in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is beside the River Camel, southeast of Wadebridge. The settlement of Egloshayle itself was removed from the civil parish in 1898 and transferred to the new parish of Wadebridge. Since 1898 the civil parish of Egloshayle has therefore not included the village after which it is named. The civil parish stretches southeast from the village and includes Washaway and Sladesbridge. At the 2021 census the population of the civil parish was 415.
