Delabole is a small village on the north coast of Cornwall in England, set beside the vast open‑cast Delabole Quarry whose slate workings have dominated the area for centuries. The surrounding landscape mixes farmland and heath with the rugged coastal scenery typical of north Cornwall, giving the place a distinctive, industrially tinged rural character.
The community combines traditional slate-built houses, local shops and cafes with tourism and small-scale industry; the village’s heritage is complemented by the nearby Delabole Wind Farm, one of the earliest commercial wind farms in the UK. Its location means towns such as Camelford and Tintagel are within easy reach, so visitors often use Delabole as a quieter base for exploring the north Cornish coast and slate history.
