Kernick, Cornwall in England is a suburb of Penryn, which is in turn a suburb of Falmouth. Kernick is located near Mabe, a small town on the edge of a new urban area at Kernick. Kernick has thrived as an industrial area since the late 1970s with two industrial parks, one large industrial estate, with about 100 factories. An ASDA was recently constructed nearby, which has taken much business from the small town shops. The area of Kernick is also thriving as a suburban housing area, with three housing estates in the vicinity, two of which (Littleoaks and Woodland Avenue) have in excess of 200 houses each. There is also another housing estate nearby, and a large area called Greenwood, which has in excess of 500 houses and bungalows. Kernick is also the site of the new Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC).
