Very easy to find. Head onto Trelowarren Street, Camborne's main, one-way, shopping street (limited on-street parking but there's a large car park very nearby). Near the top end there is a small square with a Bingo hall, benches, etc. Go through the square, following Chapel Street, the road perpendicular to the shopping street. The cross is in front of the Methodist chapel, a hundred or so metres on the left-hand side of the street. Earlier on this street, on the right-hand side, is the Camborne Cross.
I recommend parking in the Rosewarne car park for an hour, walking back up to Trelowarren Street. It's then pretty easy to visit the Camborne Cross and Killivose Cross, then walking up Trelowarren Street, across the roundabout to the Church of St Martin & St Meriadoc and then visiting Maen Cadoar menhir/Cross and Ia's Cross (not currently on this site).

A wheel-head cross was once in the garden of 4 Beacon Terrace (SW 653394) Camborne, having been brought there from a garden at Trevu. It had been found in 1883 at the junction of Kitty's Lane, (now Killivose Road), and the lane from Killivose to Beacon (SW 64793909) by a gardener at Trevu.
It was again moved to the forecourt of the Wesleyan Chapel in Chapel Street, Camborne and
positioned at SW 64683995, Which is where it is now to be found
