From the top of Carn Marth at 755 feet (230 m), there are incredible views over the rural countryside of inland Cornwall. With a rich history from mining and quarrying, this area is littered with disused mining works and quarries, like the former granite quarry here that is now flooded to form Hick's Quarry pool.

Fun XC/Gravel riding area. Great views and chance for a swim at the top, if that's your thing!
