Bounded by Tregony, Veryan, Philleigh and St Michael Penkevil, the church town of Ruan has a population of around 250 people. Originally known as Laryhorn, the village was, from the mid 12th century onwards, the site of a castle of the Lercedekne family and the main settlement was at Sheepstor (Sheeptstall) located towards Tregony, where the Pomeroy family also built a castle. In 1334, John Lecedekne was granted permission for the castle by Edward II. Before the castle was demolished in the 19th century, it was described as having a 40’ keep, seven towers and possibly an outer courtyard. The parish church was dedicated to St Remous (or Remon) in 1321. It has a Chancel and a nave, a north isle, and a south transcript. The single tower houses a ring of two bells. In later years a stained-glass window was installed in 1866. The Rev John Whitaker was Rector of Ruan Lanihorne for 30 years.

Road maps as early as 1685 show the main coach road from London to Lands End ran through nearby Philleigh, crossing the road at the King Harry Ferry and Tolverne. Ruan Lanihorne also stood on the old coach road when the Kings Head public house served many a patron in its time. The creek at Ruan is a bird lovers paradise and provides a haven for waders and waterfowl. The gently rolling hills are leafy and are a joy for a walking enthusiast and explorers.

Ruan Lanihorne is entirely rural in character with wooded areas in the river valleys. Situated about 11 miles from the city of Truro, with its excellent level of shopping and schooling facilities, Ruan Lanihorne is about 2.5 miles west of Tregony village where there is a very good level of amenities, Londis store, doctor’s surgery, dentist and excellent primary and secondary schools. The surrounding countryside is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Saltings of the silted creek have been also been designated a Site of Specific Scientific Interest, thus a nature reserve. There is a sandy beach at Pendower which is about 4 miles distant.
