SITUATION Brea village is a convenient setting on the southern fringes of Pool between Camborne and Redruth. Once the bustling heartland of Cornwall’s tin mining industry, the mines have long since closed leaving the village to become a sleepy hamlet in rural surroundings. It is by no means an isolated spot as a host of shopping facilities are close to hand in Tuckingmill and Pool together with a variety of business and commercial services available at Heartlands and the Pool innovation centre. The central location puts the wider shopping, schooling and commercial amenities of Redruth and Camborne within a 3 miles radius and the scenic north Cornwall coastline at Portreath some 4 miles away. The quick and easy access to the A30 is ideal for those who regularly travel around the county and beyond.
