Retallack village is near St Columb Major, in Cornwall, England, UK, and in the civil parish of St Wenn. Most of the village was turned into a 100 acre commercial theme park called "Spirit of the West".^[1] The theme park was closed in 2009 and redeveloped into holiday lodges which use the name Retallack Resort & Spa.

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.
