Extent

Illogan represented the villages of Illogan and West Tolgus, including much of Tehidy Woods. [4] The division was nominally abolished and reconstituted in boundary changes at the 2013 elections, but this had little effect on the ward. Before boundary changes, the division covered 733 hectares in total; afterwards, it covered 793 hectares. [4] [5]
