Boscaswell is a Cornish village.

It lies towards the cliffs looking west from Pendeen. It is a village consisting mostly of granite terraced cottages with a council house estate. Some of the cottages used to house tin mining families who would be working down the Geevor Tin Mine. The Atlantic ocean is just beyond the cliffs.
