Darite is a small village in Cornwall, England, sitting a few miles north‑east of Liskeard and close to the parish of St Cleer on the south‑eastern fringe of Bodmin Moor. It occupies a landscape of granite moorland and rolling farmland, with handy access to popular walking routes and views towards Caradon Hill.
Historically the locality shared in Cornwall’s mining and china‑clay traditions, but today it is largely rural with a mix of farming households and commuters who use nearby towns for services. Community life is quiet and village‑centred, with the surrounding countryside and wildlife making it typical of south‑east Cornwall rather than a tourist hotspot.
