Stenalees is a small village in mid-Cornwall, England, sitting in the heart of the county’s china clay country near St Austell. The surrounding landscape is shaped by clay workings and spoil tips, giving a distinct industrial-rural character and easy access to moorland walks and nearby coastal scenery.
Historically the settlement grew up around mining and clay extraction, and that industry still influences the local economy and identity alongside small businesses and commuter residents. Socially it feels like a close‑knit village with local community activities and village amenities, and it’s within reasonable reach of well‑known attractions such as the Eden Project and the south Cornwall coast.
