라머튼 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Directly at the bridge, the river is dammed slightly, so that a wonderful swimming pool was created there

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

It's a tap installed outside a wooden shed of the electrical department and as close as you can get to a public fountain. Push the wooden lever hard to start the water flow, and enjoy.

The path along the old railway track is very overgrown, muddy and in parts one is walking in a stream for a good distance. Wouldn’t recommend it.

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.

Shortly after crossing the bridge, we had to return. There is a public footpath, but it's only accessible via a wooden construction with two steep steps. We were walking with our two 80 pounds dogs; the steps are not accessible for dogs and we could only have continued if we had lifted them both above this whatever-it-is-called thingy.

impressive granite exterior, probably C14 origin. * peaceful atmosphere on the graveyard with some interesting (and old) tombstones.
