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

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

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

So that everyone knows where we are going...

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.

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.
