The former Mineral Tramways around Bissoe have been converted into a series of cycle paths through the former mining district. Much industrial dereliction remains and parts of the area are still heavily poisoned with arsenic and other unpleasant materials but it is slowing reverting to nature. The mine on the hilltop is Mount Wellington Mine, sadly closed.
