The cycle path has been formed by linking the old track way of the Redruth and Chasewater Railway with the old Portreath tramway. The Redruth and Chasewater Railway operated from 1825 to 1915 and was the first in Cornwall to use wrought iron rails and flanged wheels. It was horse drawn until 1854 when two steam engines were purchased with a third added in 1859.
