Old tin mine ruins. It is a decent trail area to ride on. Quite hilly and needs some effort to ceddle and climb on

There is a nice 'cook out' style cafe called 'Inky's' at Golitha Falls at about 3-4 miles from the end of the route. This route is very muddy and floods easily in winter but still easily navigable.

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.

Cornwall's World Heritage Site In 2006 Cornwall and West Devon was declared a World Heritage Site because of the important role its mining history has played in metal extraction around the world. There was a saying in the late 19th century: "If there's a hole in the ground, you'll find a Cornish man in it." When Cornwall's mines failed, men travelled the world in search of riches and engine houses very similar to the one pictured above can be found in places as far away as Mexico, South Africa and New Zealand. The village of Minions exists thanks to mining. Before 1800 there was little here except a few farmhouses in the sheltered valleys. But in the 1830s copper was discovered beneath Caradon Hill and the area was soon flooded with miners from all over Cornwall.

This landmark is located next to the Cheesewring Quarry (which provided the granite cladding for the structure of Tower Bridge in London) and is surrounded by other granite formations.
