Stithians is a compact village and civil parish in Cornwall, England, set in rolling farmland between Redruth and Falmouth. The area is dominated by the nearby Stithians Reservoir, a popular spot for sailing, walking and birdwatching, and the landscape still shows the imprint of historic Cornish mining amid hedgerows and small valleys.

Locally there’s a strong community feel: the parish church has medieval roots and the village is best known for the annual Stithians Show, one of Cornwall’s largest one-day agricultural events. Today the economy mixes farming, local services and tourism with many residents commuting to nearby towns, while village halls, clubs and seasonal activities keep social life lively.
