| Description |
English: A Cornish Mining Walk (A lay-by with a post box at Wheal Busy)
588851 : Previous -- (8 of 34) -- Next : 588959 From here take a short diversion left (easterly, into the heath) there are a number of artefacts here and they are all to do with something called a 588912, which was involved in the extraction of arsenic. After the detour continue ahead, along this road to the second, and last, crossing of the main road. See also this web page from Cornish Mining, http://www.cornish-mining.org.uk/sites/whbusy.htm . --- Wheal is Cornish for Mine and this circular walk visits a number of mine ruins in the area between Chacewater and Scorrier. Building, chimneys and pits belonging to Wheal Busy, Unity Wood and Killifreth Engine House amongst others are visited. Some of the walking is on minor roads and there is one major road to cross, so please take care. Also, although there is an easy, safe footpath through Unity Wood, you should not leave the path except where marked. The wood is private and there are a great many old mine workings whose safety should not be relied upon. --- To go to the photograph for the start of the walk, click here 588484. |
