Chacewater is a small village and civil parish in mid-Cornwall, situated between Truro and Redruth. It occupies a pleasant valley of rolling farmland and woodland with visible remnants of 19th‑century mining - old engine houses and spoil heaps that hint at the area’s industrial past.
Historically tied to tin and copper mining, the village today has a mixed, largely local economy of farming, small businesses and commuters who work in nearby towns. Community life remains lively for a village of its size, centred on a village hall, pub and local clubs, and it’s popular with walkers and cyclists exploring the countryside and the traces of Cornwall’s mining heritage.
