Pool sits between Camborne and Redruth in west Cornwall, England, forming part of the Camborne–Redruth conurbation. Its position close to the A30 and local rail links makes it a handy base for exploring the Cornish coast and moorland; the surrounding landscape still bears the scars and landmarks of the area’s historic tin and copper mining.
Pool shares in the cultural legacy of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, with engine houses and mining relics visible nearby and a strong local identity tied to that industrial past. Today it functions as a busy local centre with a mix of housing, retail and light industry, serving commuters and families while retaining community events and connections to Cornish heritage.
