Nice on trail cafe - good coffee!

Great coast to coast route across mid Cornwall mainly off road trails and occasional quiet roads. Coffee stops, pub stops, great scenery, mining history and coastal views. There is nothing to dislike about this route.

Bit of a bouncy ride between Portreath & Bridge but the Tramroad is a great route to follow.

St Piran coffee 👍

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.

Point Hills Arsenic Refinery was run by the British Arsenic Company, which became the Cornwall Arsenic Company. The arsenic works closed at the beginning of World War Two after being active for a century. The chimney has been preserved and is all that remains of the arsenic works.

South Wheal Frances was originally a copper mine in the 1820s, before becoming a tin mine from the 1850s. The mine was active until 1918. The structures are relatively well preserved, including the remains of the engine house which contained an unusual inverted vertical beam engine.

Wheal Basset produced over 128,000 tons of copper ore between 1832-1880 and was a particularly important mine of the Great Flat Lode. The well preserved Wheal Basset vanner house was built in 1908, where the mining ore was processed.
