Information about Cambourne
In its day, Cambourne was once one of the richest mining areas in the world, best known for tin and copper mining. It began life as a village until transformed by the mining boom which began in the late eighteenth century. As a result, both Camborne and the nearby Redruth district become the richest mining area in the world. Although a considerable number of ruinous stacks and engine houses remain, they cannot begin to convey the scenes of 150 years ago when scores of mines transfigured the landscape.
In 1931 the ruins of a Roman villa were found at Magor Farm, Illogan, near Camborne, and excavated that year under the guidance of the Royal Institution of Cornwall. Until this time, it is the only Roman villa found in Cornwall.
Well connected by the passing A30 road and with a proud history of rugby and culture, Cambourne is a town well worth a visit.
