The remains of the bases for Californian stamps are among the most prominent remnants at Poldice Mine. These machines crushed ore-bearing rocks into fine sand, contributing to significant noise across the valley. Unlike traditional Cornish stamps, Californian stamps operated more rapidly and thoroughly, with each stamp head capable of crushing 1.5 tons of ore daily compared to the one ton processed by Cornish stamps.

Built in 1897, this calciner was used to roast arsenic ore - check out the date above the archway. Arsenic gas was driven off by the heat and travelled towards the stack higher up the hill and through the labyrinth, or lambreth, where it condensed on the walls.

This is a welcome stop and popular with both hikers and cyclists.

Impressive industrial remains, a great place to walk but note the warning signs related to the tailings from Mount Wellington, in the lagoons, which contain heavy metals and arsenic.

Everything a cyclist needs. Great food, great drinks and a selection of essential spares.

As well as great food and drinks, this fabulous cafe carries cycle parts and essential spares. Just brilliant.

Great stop off point with a wide ranging menu 👍

Nice on trail cafe - good coffee!
