Kerrier (Cornish: Keryer) is a local government district in Cornwall, England, UK. It is the most southerly district in the United Kingdom, other than the Isles of Scilly. Its council is based in Camborne. Other places in the district include Redruth, Helston. The district contains the Lizard Peninsula.
The district is named after one of the ancient administrative Hundreds of Cornwall, which covered broadly the same area, but did not have a coast on the north, like the modern district. See Kerrier (hundred).
The district was formed on April 1, 1974, as a merger of the borough of Helston, the urban district of Camborne-Redruth and Kerrier Rural District.
Interestingly, Cornish musician Luke Vibert has released a self-titled album under the alias Kerrier District, as a nod to New York musicians Metro Area and a tribute to the place where he grew up.
