St Clether

Tucked into the east flank of Bodmin Moor, St Clether is a civil parish and village in Cornwall, England, with a quietly rural character. Nestled in the valley of the River Inny and sitting about eight miles (13 km) west of Launceston, the village offers an intimate sense of place shaped by moorland slopes and riverside contours. With a population of 156 at the 2011 census, St Clether has the atmosphere of a close-knit community where the pace is unhurried and the landscape asserts itself at every turn. Its position on the moor’s eastern edge gives visitors a clear sense of Cornwall’s upland scenery meeting gentle river valleys; the River Inny threads the valley below, anchoring the village in its natural setting. Whether passing through or pausing to soak in the surroundings, St Clether provides a quietly compelling glimpse of rural Cornwall—a place defined by its setting between Bodmin Moor and the lowlands toward Launceston.
