South Hill Parish is situated in the Deanery and Hundred of East. It is bounded on the north and east by Stoke Climsland and Callington, and on the south and west by St Ive and Linkinhorne. This thinly-populated parish is in the east Cornwall, north of Callington. Four miles to the north-west is the parish of North Hill
The main village of the parish is Golberdon, with smaller hamlets at Maders, Mornick, Trevigro and Trewoodloe with South Hill being the smallest of these. Golberdon used to have a Post Office/shop, chapel and a nearby school but all this has gone and the only facility remaining is a village hall.
