Stoke Climsland is a village and large parish in the centre of Cornwall on the border with Devon, in the River Tamar Valley. Stoke means "outlying farm". Climsland is the name of the manor, which in the Domesday Survey of 1086 was referred to as Climstone.
The church at Stoke Climsland was restored in the 19th century and is dedicated to All Saints.
