Delabole is the third highest village in Cornwall and is almost on a par with Roughtor. If you care to stay you will find several interesting things to see and do in and around Delabole. When you reach the centre of the village, you will come across a public house and several shops.

Arial view of Delabole and the Quarry

Here you can turn and drive down a road called Pengelly, at the bottom of which you will find one of the biggest holes in Europe, Delabole Slate Quarry. It is a must see. Delabole is also the birth place of the Cornwall Air Ambulance, there fund raising H.Q. and charity shop can be found here.

A view from Delabole

At the Northern end of Delabole there is a thriving fishery, where you may picnic or fish, or feed the birds and take in the backdrop....which includes the extinct volcano that is Roughtor. Close by to Delabole is the disused airfield at Treligga Downs, now home to many sheep, the downs afford the most amazing views up and down the coast, and of course, the surfers beach at Tregardock is close to here and is a worthwhile walk.  Also within the vicinity is the cove of Backways, which is best reached via, Trebarwith village, a small hamlet that nestles about a quarter of a mile inland of Trebarwith Strand. If you do venture to Tregardock or Backways, we do urge you to park away from all working farm access.

If you approach Delabole from Camelford you will come upon windmills situated at the outskirts of the village, and if you pull in here you will find area 21.

  St Teath is the name of both the parish in which Delabole lies and the village of St Teath itself .
