Keele is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England, best known for its large university campus set in extensive parkland. The area retains a distinctly rural feel, with the historic Keele Hall and remnants of the old estate punctuating mature woodland and lakes that now sit alongside more modern academic buildings.
Economically and culturally the village is dominated by Keele University, which brings a sizeable international student community, research activity and a nearby science/innovation park, while small local businesses and village amenities serve residents and staff. Good road links to Stoke-on-Trent and the M6 make it an accessible mix of countryside living and collegiate life, with community events and campus facilities giving the place a lively, outward-facing social character.
