Map of the UK

Breage is a small village and civil parish in rural Cornwall, England, set among rolling farmland and heath a few miles inland from the sandy bay at Praa Sands and the granite ridge of Tregonning Hill. It sits within easy reach of larger towns such as Helston and Penzance, so the feel is a mix of quiet village life with ready access to coast and services.

The parish is notable for its historic parish church of St Breaca, medieval and post‑medieval features, and a strong legacy of tin and copper mining - remnants of engine houses and mining landscape still dot the countryside. Today the local economy blends agriculture, holiday‑related tourism around the coast, and commuting, while a close‑knit community preserves traditional events and village facilities.
