Moderate trail for everyone to explore and enjoy

A beautiful and tranquil lake, high on Exmoor. It's around a mile's walk from the YHA layby on the B3358, but well worth it. The pond is a great spot for wild swimming, amongst the lillies in the beautiful deep red peat-infused water.

Wheal Eliza is situated 1.5 kilometres south east of Simonsbath in the Barle Valley, on the Two Moors Way. It contains the remains of a copper (and iron) mine dating from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The complex comprises the ruins of buildings associated with the mine, shafts and spoil heaps, a wheel pit, leat, and tail race/tailings pond. Principal significance Wheal Eliza is an important part of the mining history of the former Royal Forest of Exmoor. The complex is generally well preserved and complete. It is also associated with traumatic episodes in Exmoor’s social history, being the site where the body of Anna Maria Burgess was concealed in 1858.

Right between Chains Barrow and Wood Barrow, you'll find this artificial lake from 1830, formed by the headwaters of the River Barle. An ideal spot to stop for lunch or even dip your feet in to cool off.

Between 1845 and 1857, there was a mine here, next to the River Barle, that initially produced copper and later switched to iron production. Now, only a few remnants remain, such as some stones from the worker's cottages.
