About Tuckingmill Valley Park
Tuckingmill Valley transformed from the most derelict land site in West Cornwall to an award winning park. The site situated in the heart of Camborne and Redruth has become a symbol of regeneration for the area.
A key aim of the scheme was to treat the complex contamination found on the site including mine shafts, landfill and arsenic works. Whilst maintaining symbols of Cornish mining. As well as signature plants and habitats associated with this environment.
