St Cleer

St Cleer is situated in the Deanery and Hundred of West. It is bordered by Altarnun and North Hill to the north, Linkinhorne and St Ive to the east, Menheniot and Liskeard to the south and the River Fowey (which separates it from St Neot) to the west. St Cleer was once an eminent mining parish with some of the richest and best-paying mines in Cornwall. It is now a dormitory area within Caradon District with the vast majority of the inhabitants being commuters to Liskeard or Plymouth. Besides the churchtown, the main villages are Tremar, Tremar Coombe, Common Moor, Railway Terrace (now known as Darite) and Crow’s Nest.
