Grampound Road is a village in the parish of Ladock in Cornwall, to be found two miles north-west of Grampound.
The village owes its foundation to the railway, and to Grampound Road Station, which was opened here on 4 May 1859. It closed in 1964 as part of the Beeching Axe. A small village known as Grampound Road grew up around the railway station and continues to expand despite the station's closing.[1]
