Delabole is a village and parish in Cornwall, England, set on high ground close to the rugged north coast. It is most famous for Delabole Quarry, one of the largest slate quarries in the country, worked for centuries and expanded markedly in the 19th century, with slate from the area used widely for roofing and building.
The parish also hosted one of the UK's earliest commercial wind projects, Delabole Wind Farm, and sits within a landscape popular with walkers and visitors to nearby coastal attractions such as Tintagel and Boscastle; locally there remains a strong sense of community tied to the quarrying past and rural Cornish life.
