This is the start of the bridleway which crosses some of the old Mine workings of Wheal Buller, one of the most productive copper mines in 19th Century Cornwall. There are unfortunately no old engine houses still standing hereabouts but the mine Count House and Captain's House were eventually saved and are now privately owned.
