Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Cornish Mining Walk (Leaving Unity Wood)

590244 : Previous -- (30 of 34) -- Next : 590262

This photograph shows the exit of this walk from the northern edge of Unity Wood. In the distance is the Killifreth Engine House and chimney.

The route of the walk continues ahead.

Unity Wood is an important ancient woodland and mining landscape dating back to medieval tin working. --- 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. ---
