Chacewater

Tucked in the heart of Cornwall’s South West, Chacewater is a welcoming village and civil parish in postcode district TR4. It sits approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Redruth, making it an easy point from which to explore the surrounding countryside. The parish is scattered with a handful of small, characterful hamlets — Carnhot, Cox Hill, Creegbrawse, Hale Mills, Jolly’s Bottom, Salem, Saveock, Scorrier, Todpool, Twelveheads and Wheal Busy — each adding its own quiet note to the wider community. At the 2011 census the parish recorded a population of 3,870, reflecting a village life that is pleasantly compact yet evidently lively enough to sustain a range of local settlements. Chacewater’s location in Cornwall offers a reassuringly rural base in the South West, where village rhythms and neighbouring hamlets combine to form a gently varied parish landscape. For visitors seeking a slice of Cornish village life within easy reach of Redruth, Chacewater provides an unassuming and authentic starting point.
