Retallack village is near St Columb Major, in Cornwall, England (grid reference SW 934658), United Kingdom.[1] Most of the village is now a 100 acre commercial theme park called "Spirit of the West".[2] Outer Retallick (sic) is another village 1 km to the northwest of the village of Winnards Perch, which was destroyed to make way for a nearby highway roundabout. Both names come from a local family, including John Retallack, listed as a local farmer in 1602.[3] Other Cornish localities named for this family include Retillick Farm (sic) near Roche (SW 974593), Retallack Farm near Constantine (SW 733304), and Retallack Mine near Millpool (SW 573314)[4]
