Creegbrawse is a hamlet in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated between the villages of Chacewater (where the 2011 census population was included) and Todpool approximately three miles (5 km) east of Redruth.[1]
Creegbrawse was a busy mining area in the 19th century. Remains of the mining activity are still present including numerous mineshafts. Since the decline of the industry, the village has become a rural community with a crossroads at its centre; the roads lead to Chacewater, Twelveheads, Todpool and St Day via Little Beside.
