This former industrial area in a wooded valley contains the remains of many gunpowder mills. The humid atmosphere allows many varieties of ferns and mosses to flourish; dippers can be seen by the numerous watercourses and many bats have made homes in the derelict buildings. The site is managed by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
