Keele is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England, notable for its extensive green estate of parkland, lakes and woodlands that give it a distinctly rural feel despite being close to urban centres such as Stoke-on-Trent. The village is quiet and residential, with traditional cottages and lanes interrupted by the vehicular and pedestrian activity that comes with a major campus nearby.
The community and economy are dominated by Keele University and its historic core around Keele Hall, which bring students, research activity, conferences and local services to the area. That mix of long‑standing residents and a transient student population creates a lively cultural calendar - from university talks and performances to local clubs - while the listed buildings and country‑house setting hint at the parish’s longer agricultural and landed history.
