About

Pool & Tehidy ward encompasses a mix of residential and rural landscapes on Cornwall's north coast. The area includes the village of Pool, historically linked to tin and copper mining, and the nearby commercial hub at Tolvaddon. Inland, the geography is characterised by scattered settlements and former mining land, with the A30 trunk road forming a significant boundary to the south.

A central feature is the extensive Tehidy Country Park, over two hundred and fifty acres of woodland and lakes offering public trails. The ward stretches to the coast at North Cliffs, providing rugged coastal access. The area's identity is shaped by this blend of regenerated industrial heritage, natural woodland, and its position between the urban centre of Camborne and the coastal settlements.
