- The Camborne School of Mines is in west Cornwall, about halfway between
- the towns of Camborne and Redruth and about twenty five miles from
- Land's End. The mild climate, nearby coasts and scenic beauty combine
- to make the area a popular holiday centre.

- The School is uniquely placed for educating engineers and geologists
- for the minerals industry.
-
- It is one of the foremost mining schools in the world. There
- were a large number of producing tin mines within a few miles of the School
