Towanroath Shaft pumping engine house was built in 1872, housing a steam engine that pumped water from a shaft that went 185 metres deep - well below sea level. After Wheal Coates was abandoned in 1914, the engine house perched dramatically on the cliff was restored by the National Trust in 1973.

Site of Alfred Nobel's Munitions Factory. Active during WWI & WWII, mostly filling grenades and other explosives. I would recommend looking up the talking history clip on BBC Sounds. Also the site of Tungsten mining during the same time.

While running along along Cligga Head you will find some cracking coastal views, but also some interesting evidence of the mining history. You are running in the shoes of the miners who would take this path to work.

The Carnon Viaduct passes over the Carnon River as part of the Falmouth to Truro railway line. The impressive 9 stone arches were completed in 1933. The original viaduct was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The stone piers of the former viaduct can be seen next to the existing viaduct.

Awesome gravel tracks around the mines

The Carnon Viaduct is still in operation, unlike many other local viaducts. It carries the Truro to Falmouth railway line over the Carnon River. Underneath the current structure are the masonry piers of the previous viaduct, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and built in 1863. It was constructed of masonry and wood. The wooden sections were dismantled but the piers remain.

This is a great place to MTB and possibly one of the best in Cornwall. Once a thriving part of Cornwall's mining industry, the spoil heaps, quarries and ruined buildings give the valley an otherworldly feel. There are plenty of Bridleways and tracks between Twelveheads in the east and Poldice in the west. You could spend plenty of time here just exploring. The ground stays rideable throughout the year, but do note there are often walkers and horse riders here too so please treat each other courteously.

could play here for while, some real steep technical descents if you are brave enough

Beautiful place to visit some of Cornwall’s historic mining ruins

A most beautiful part of the Cornish coast path.

Stunning historic site overlooking Chapel Porth beach.

Fun trails with some interesting features. Hard packed ground means they are good for riding all year round.

Take the lower path on approach for ease

Lovely coast walk from Chapel Porth

The mining trails are widespread and full of challenge and history. Not to be missed.

Well worth a visit if within an hours drive.

Ride it quite regularly. Some parts have plenty of walkers and dog walkers.. occasional,horses too.. but it’s a very good trail ride, coast to coast

Quiet bike friendly trail, rarely busy.
