モーバーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Beautiful view of a small bay with the opportunity to watch some climbers working on the rock faces.

The remains of the mine building are right by the road. There is a car park that is a good starting point for hikes. The bus (Lands End Coaster) also passes by regularly.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Ding Dong Mine was particularly productive. Steam engines were used to drain the mine. Towards the end of the 19th century, Ding Dong Mine's productivity declined due to the depletion of readily accessible ores and increasing international competition. The mine finally closed in 1877, but remained an important part of Cornwall's industrial heritage. Today, Ding Dong Mine is a ruin, protected as a historic monument.

Great view

Walking along the coast path it is hard to resist the lure of the stunning white sand of Portheras Cove. You can take a small trail down to explore the beach, owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Look out for seals who are often spotted in the water.

Mên Scryfa is inscribed with the words 'Rialobrani Cunovali fili' which translates as 'Rialobranus son of Cunovalus'. It is not known who the inscriptions relate to but they date to around the 5th to 8th century AD.

Situated right next to the road, Carn Calver Mine is an ideal accessible place to get up close to Cornwall's industrial past. The mine was operational for only 20 years, with only 150 tons of tin produced. The two ruins closest to the road are engine houses. The wall of the chimneyed building was destroyed to fill in the mine when it closed. The Count House, off to the north from the car park, is now used by Bosigran Climbing Club to store their equipment.

You have to walk quite a long way through small coastal paths and climb over stones at the bottom of the beach, but it's worth it because it's a very beautiful beach.
