Tehidy Country Park is a country park in Illogan in Cornwall, England which incorporates 250 acres (1.0 km2) of the parkland and estate around Tehidy House, a former manor house of the Tehidy manor. The park's facilities include an events field, barbecue hire facilities in a specially designated woodland, outdoor education facilities, a permanent orienteering course and a schools and youth campsite. The manor was a seat for many centuries of the junior branch of the Basset family which gained much wealth from local tin mining. The estate and house were purchased by Cornwall County Council in 1983 and the country park is one of four in Cornwall.
