About

Threemilestone & Chacewater ward lies just northwest of Truro, forming a transitional area between the city and the rural mining landscape. The settlement of Threemilestone itself functions primarily as a residential suburb, with modern housing estates catering to commuters. Chacewater, a separate village to the west, retains a more distinct historic centre and identity, reflecting its past as a mining area. The ward's geography is characterised by rolling fields and scattered woodland, with the A390 trunk road providing a major transport artery through the area.

The ward's history is deeply connected to Cornwall's industrial heritage, with the remains of engine houses and mine stacks visible in the surrounding countryside. Local community life focuses on village halls, primary schools, and sports clubs, particularly rugby. A notable local landmark is the prominent stack of Wheal Busy, a former copper mine, which stands on the hillside near Chacewater. Economic activity is mixed, combining local agriculture, small businesses, and service industries reliant on the proximity to Truro.
