Carnkie is a village in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately one and a half miles south west of Redruth. The village is built largely along the Great Flat Lode (a massive mineral trail that was extensively mined), and is surrounded by numerous derelict mine buildings, most of which were built by the mining magnate, Lord de Dunstanville and Basset. There is a Methodist chapel building at the centre of the village which closed in 2010.The Methodist congregation now meet at the Carnkie community institute every Sunday at 10:30am and in May 2015 celebrated their 5th year since moving.
