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!

This landmark is located next to the Cheesewring Quarry (which provided the granite cladding for the structure of Tower Bridge in London) and is surrounded by other granite formations. In the late 19th century, this landmark was threatened with destruction due to its proximity to blasting operations, but was saved through local activism.

Three beautiful Neolithic or Early Bronze Age stone circles arranged in a line, a unique grouping in England. The Hurlers Stone Circles are probably the best examples of ceremonial circles in the South West. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/hurlers-stone-circles/

The dam was built in 1968 to create the reservoir which provides drinking water and tops up the water levels of the River Fowey during the dry months. Once a small tributary of the River Fowey, Siblyback Lake now holds 3 billion litres of water.

Kit Hill sits high above the Tamar Valley, overlooking the river and the valley it formed. The hill boasts a wide array of history, including 18 burial mounds, neolithic and bronze-age barrows, as well as pointers towards Cornwall's more contemporary mining history.

The Hurlers are three stone circles on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Legend has it that these were Cornish Hurler players, caught out on a Sunday and punished. They are thought to date to between 2,100 & 1,500 BCE.

The Cheeswring is a granite tor on the south-east edge of Bodmin Moor. It's a naturally formed structure, although the local legends say it was formed in a contest between giants and saints. Granite from the quarry below was used to clad Tower Bridge.

Wheal Anna Maria was originally a copper and later an arsenic mine. The biggest arsenic mine in the world. The ruins you can see are from the arsenic calcining complex where the arsenic-ore was crushed then roasted (calcinated). The white powder of arsenic would coat the walls of the flues and be scraped off by men and children. They were protected from the extremely toxic poison only by cotton wool in their ears and noses and rags covering their mouths! They even had to scrape the white powder off their boots before going home.

Another trig pointed Marilyn but nothing to write home about. A pretty part of the world no less. A 2.5 mile (4 km) windy stroll up Kit Hill 1,095 feet (334 m) near Tavistock before the wind and rain starts in earnest.

Worth walking round these ancient stones - Bronze Age (c 1500 BC) consisting of a set of 3 standing stone circles.

Britain has tens of thousands of stone circles (the largest being Avebury, which encircles an entire Wiltshire village), but the trio of circles known as the Hurlers is one of our favourites to walk to. High on Bodmin Moor, near the village of Minions, the three circles are thought to be all that remains of a group of boys who went out to play the traditional game of hurling one Sunday, instead of going to church – and were turned to stone for their sacrilege. According to local legend, it’s impossible to count the same number of stones twice.

Nice but vicious climb for cyclists. Fantastic panoramic views.

Great view over the moor to the coast

Off the beaten track, yet still on the path. That's how you could describe a hike in Bodwin Moor. A worthwhile loop leads from Minion past the stone circles, up to the Cheesewring, and then on to Sharp Tor. From there, it's a direct route to Kilmar Tor. The most famous tor in Bodmin Moor is the Cheesewring. Unlike the stone circles, it was formed naturally by millennia of erosion. A precise route description is only partially necessary. It's usually sufficient to simply follow a direct line toward the next waypoint. You should only be careful around the grazing cows on the raised moor and pass them with respect and at a suitable distance.
