Description
English: A Cornish Mining Walk (The base of the Killifreth Engine House and chimney)

590262 : Previous -- (32 of 34) -- Next : 590472

This photograph a picnic area by the side of the base of the 590440 and chimney. The picture was taken from a footpath between Unity Wood (southerly, right) and Killifreth Engine House car park (northerly, left).

The route of the walk continues toward the car park (northerly, left).

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. --- See also this photograph by Rod Allday:
