라머튼 최고의 러닝 경로

카날에서 비아덕트 쪽으로 올라가 타비스톡으로 돌아가는 산책을 하고 싶었습니다. 지도에 표시된 길은 완전히 잡초로 뒤덮여 있었습니다. 왼쪽에는 블랙베리가 있었고 오른쪽에는 철조망이 있었습니다. 그래서 우리는 카날을 따라 되돌아와야 했습니다.

광업 산업과 함께 도시의 역사에 대한 매우 흥미로운 전시회.

이 경로의 두 터널을 지날 때 조심하세요. 북쪽 터널은 도로 표면이 새로 포장되었지만 조명이 좋지 않습니다. 더운 날에는 들어가기 전부터 에어컨 장치처럼 느껴질 것입니다!

The official website promotes the DRAKE'S TRAIL with the words, "Drake's Trail in West Devon is a 21-mile cycling and walking route linking Tavistock with Plymouth. This important part of Devon's recreational route network runs through superb countryside with attractive scenery along the western edge of Dartmoor, along with much historical and heritage interest."

Stunning views across the valley

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

Great viewing point across Dartmoor
