Stelling Minnis is a small village on the chalk ridge of the North Downs in the district of Folkestone and Hythe, Kent, England. Its name recalls the "minnis" or common pasture that still sits at the heart of the settlement; this surviving patch of chalk grassland, with a 19th‑century windmill as a local landmark, gives the village wide views and a distinctly rural, conservation‑minded character.
The community is traditionally agricultural but also home to people who commute to nearby towns and the coast; a village pub, hall and a few small businesses provide local social hubs. Walkers and wildlife enthusiasts are drawn by the downland paths and the sense of preserved historic landscape, and village life remains focused on protecting the commons and maintaining a close‑knit rural identity.
