Grampound Road is a village in the parish of Ladock, Cornwall, England, 3 kilometres (2 mi) north west of Grampound[1][2]
The railway station of that name was situated here; it was opened on 4 May 1859 and closed in 1964. A small village known as Grampound Road grew up around the railway station and continues to expand despite the station closing (along with other stations on the line) on 5 October 1964.[3]
