Tuckingmill

Tuckingmill is a village in the Tuckingmill valley between Camborne and Redruth, in the heart of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. The valley contains scheduled ancient monument mine engine houses from the copper and tin mining era. Pool sits at the top of East Hill, directly beside the village.

The village is well placed for exploring the mining heritage of the Camborne-Redruth area. The Great Flat Lode Trail, a circular walking and cycling route of about 7.5 miles through the engine house country, passes nearby. The Heartlands site at Pool, built around Robinson’s Shaft, is about a mile away. Its main visitor attraction closed in January 2024, when the cafe, soft play and conference centre shut, but the gardens and adventure playground stayed open to the public. In February 2026 Cornwall Council approved the National Trust to begin lease negotiations to run the site, so check what is open before you go.

The north coast at Portreath is about 2.5 miles north, and Gwithian and Godrevy beaches are about 5 miles north-west.
