The parish is immediately east of the town of Looe and 7 miles (11 km) south of Liskeard. The parish takes its name from its parish church of St Martin. The parish historically included East Looe, which was removed from the ecclesiastical parish in 1845 and became a separate civil parish in 1866. Further territory was ceded from the civil parish of St Martin in 1934 to the urban district of Looe, including the parish church and the small adjoining settlement of St Martin. Since 1934, the civil parish has therefore excluded the church and settlement after which it is named, instead just covering the more rural eastern parts of the old parish.
