Blachford Manor stands in parkland on the northwest edge of the village, and is surrounded by a estate. It is owned by the financier Alexander Darwall who has been in dispute with the Dartmoor National Park Authority regarding access to wild camping on Dartmoor. 3,000 protesters gathered in Cornwood to march onto nearby Stall Moor on 21 January 2023. From 1852 to 1959, the village was served by Cornwood railway station on the South Devon Main Line between Exeter and Plymouth.
