Laneast is a small, rural parish in northeast Cornwall, England, lying a few miles north of Launceston and close to the border with Devon. It occupies gently rolling farmland and narrow lanes rather than the coastal or high moorland scenery often associated with Cornwall, with scattered hamlets and stone cottages that reflect the quiet, agricultural character of the area.
Historically the community has been centred on its parish church and farming, and that agricultural legacy still shapes local life; many residents work on the land or commute to nearby towns. The parish retains a strong local identity, with a close‑knit social scene and an emphasis on conserving the traditional buildings and rural landscape that give Laneast its distinctive, quietly historic feel.
