Burras Cornwall Map

About Burras

Burras, a quiet hamlet, breathes with the ancient pulse of Cornish earth. It lies 6.1 km south-east of Camborne (from Camborne: bearing 145°T, OS grid SW 678 349), and is situated north-west of Porkellis village. The land around Burras rolls with a gentle, almost imperceptible grace, a soft green velvet under a sky that often promises rain, its light a diffused, pearly sheen. Once, this landscape might have echoed with the clang of mining, the deep veins of tin and copper now largely silent, leaving the hills to their own quiet contemplation. The air here carries a faint, earthy perfume, a blend of damp soil and the hardy resilience of the gorse that clings to the higher ground. Burras, though small, holds within its unassuming bounds a sense of enduring peace, a place where the passage of time feels more like a slow, steady tide than a hurried rush.
