Summary

Description
English: A Cornish Mining Walk (The Mineral Tramways route crosses a local road near Wheal Busy)

588548 : Previous -- (6 of 34) -- Next : 588851

The route of this walk turns right here but there are some 588831 (a number of the surviving buildings are private) a short way along the road to the left and also along the track ahead.

Wheal busy was a large concern and much of the heathland in the area has further remains including the section that you have will have already walked through and that which comes next, to the right.

The next photograph is of the same junction but looking along the direction to take. --- 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. ---
