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!

Beautiful area fairly steep path climb up, but well worth it and rewarding

Great viewing point across Dartmoor

Quite nice 😏. If you pass by you can take it with you, you don't have to go there specially 😬.

The bridge provides lovely views along the valley.

A few lights in the tunnel brighten things up, but there are a few spots where visibility can be a little low.

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.

A really beautiful waterfall in a dreamlike environment. If there is not too much going on here, the square invites you to take a relaxing break.

Gem Bridge is closed for repairs until 4th June - no access for cyclists or pedestrians. There are small steps you can go down which locals said would allow you to cross but we're not from here so we weren't sure as there were no diversion signs at all. If cycling around the closure time ask locals about diversion before you get to the bridge just incase!

I think part of this ride at the moment is not open because of repairs along the route

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.

A waterfall is always intriguing. The roar of the falling water has something to contemplate, watch and listen to. So be sure to stay here for a while.

Beautiful views across the valley

Gem Bridge towers 78 feet (24 m) above the River Walkham, affording wonderful views over the valley below. Until 1965, the original Walkham Viaduct would have stood here. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, it was demolished after the closure of the railway. It's a wonderful experience to cycle over the bridge, especially in autumn when the trees are painted red.

Take lights if your going to ride this tunnel and beware of pedestrians who may not have torches.

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.

the shingle beach at the riverside is nice for brief stop and the old mine entrance is worth a look. you can see the old support timbers and we saw a sleeping bat, so didn't want to disturb the little and moved on before too long.

Towering above the River Walkham, Gem Bridge is an impressive walkway that stands on the site of a former railway bridge, built by Brunel. Observation points allow you to stand out of the way of cyclists and walkers, so you can admire the views easily. This new bridge is made largely of steel and has five arches. Its minimalist, railing-topped construction was chosen so that you could see the forest through it and remain sympathetic to the surroundings. It opened in 2012 to cyclists and walkers.

Part of the Drake’s Trail and the Dartmoor Way, this 374-yard (341 m) tunnel was built by Brunel in the mid-1850s for the South Devon & Tavistock Railway. After the line closed, it sat abandoned for decades before being resurfaced and opened as a foot and cycle path. The tunnel is lit and is a fun addition to an already amazing route. It has a tendency to drip on the heads of those who use it though!

This tunnel was closed for about 50 years and it was very much a missing link on the disused railway. Now that its been re-established, it's allowed the re-opening of the Brunel's South Devon and Tavistock Railway route, for cyclists and pedestrians, between Plymouth and Tavistock.
