    Tips

    October 17, 2018

    China clay was extracted here (1912 - 1933) and after settling was transported in ceramic pipes down to be processed in the drying works at Cantrell near Ivybridge (now called The Clay Factory). The track leading here (known as the Puffing Billy locally) was used by a narrow gauge railway which transported workers between here and Bittaford. There are ruins nearby of a hostel where workers stayed.

      Also here you’ll see signs that peat was dug and transported on a wooden tramway (South Zeal Tramway) down to Shipley where it was distilled into naphtha. That track is a nice biking route but quite tricky with lots of granite boulders (the track was bolted to the granite) and quite boggy.
