Wheal Anna Maria – a copper and arsenic mine – covered 3.2 hectares and had over 6,850 cubic metres of arsenic flues! It was named after the Duchess of Bedford! Her main workings were on the ‘Main Lode‘ (the largest sulphide deposit in southwest England). When its rich copper waned, Devon Great Consols became the largest arsenic mine in the world because the margins of the copper-rich lode were dominated by arsenopyrite. In 1860 the copper lode at Anna Maria was up to 45 feet wide and yielding up to 80 tons per fathom, but by around 1880 the copper boom was over. Thankfully, arsenic production sustained the mine into the 1900s, until the company folded. Arsenic ore, unlike copper ore, was refined on site using the ‘calcination’ process – and at Wheal Anna Maria they yielded over 72,000 tons of refined arsenic! – Whoop!

Nice spot to take a break and enjoy the views

The path along the old railway track is very overgrown, muddy and in parts one is walking in a stream for a good distance. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Area of coniferous woodland, near Tavistock, situated on the banks of the river Tamar. The woods are home to plenty of hiking and bike trails, and offer plenty of scope for exploration.

Historic covered market, in beautifully restored building. Great for browsing, all sorts on offer, good when the weather's wet (which is fairly frequent 😉).

There's a great permanent exhibition in here - good social history. Free, and well worth a visit.

Maintained as part ofvthe Viaduct Path. Good views out over Tavistock. You can see the Tors of Dartmoor from here, on a clearer day!

Part of one of the National Cycle Routes, but multi-purpose: lots of hikers & dog-walkers use it. Old railway track.
