Four Lanes, Beacon & Troon

Four Lanes, Beacon & Troon is a ward situated north of Redruth in Cornwall's former mining heartland. The area encompasses the villages of Four Lanes and Troon, along with the hamlet of Beacon, set within a landscape of rolling hills and scattered smallholdings. The settlement pattern is largely linear, following the main roads, with older terraced housing mixed with more modern developments. The geography is defined by its position on the Carnmenellis granite plateau.

The area's history is deeply connected to the region's industrial past, with engine houses and other mining relics still visible in the surrounding countryside. Local facilities include primary schools, community halls, and shops serving the resident population. A notable local landmark is the Carn Brea monument, a prominent hilltop structure visible for miles, which sits on the eastern edge of the ward's upland terrain. The economy is a mix of local employment, small-scale agriculture, and commuting to nearby towns.
