South Caradon Mine stretches across the southern and southwestern slopes of Caradon Hill, extending down to the River Seaton in the valley below. Here, you'll find the remnants of the mine’s main ore-dressing and service complex. The valley also holds earlier mining remains, including medieval and early post-medieval tin streamworks.
