Whitemoor is a small, rural settlement in Cornwall, England, typifying the quieter inland side of the county rather than the dramatic coast. Set amid hedged fields and patches of moorland, it sits in a landscape shaped by centuries of farming and the nearby legacy of mining and china‑clay workings, so the skyline mixes stone cottages with the occasional industrial reminder of Cornwall’s past.
Socially it feels like a close‑knit village community, with the sort of local life you’d expect around a village hall, a pub or chapel and seasonal events; economically many residents work locally in agriculture, light industry or tourism, while others commute to larger towns. Its interest lies in that typical Cornish blend of rural tranquillity, industrial history and community continuity rather than striking tourist attractions.
