Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Cornish Mining Walk (Bridleway close by Cox Hill Farm)

589212 : Previous -- (17 of 34) -- Next : 589244

Over the hedge on the left, depending upon the time of year, it may be possible to make out the remains of Harper's Shaft. The shafts in this area were part of Wheal Unity Wood. The chimney ahead is part of Wheal Bush. Follow this bridleway ahead in a south-westerly direction until the lane is reached. --- Wheal is Cornish for Mine and this circular walk visits a number of mine ruins in the area between Chacewater and Scorrier. Buildings, 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. ---
