Spoil heaps
Mining waste dominates the hillsides surrounding the village. There is a curious mixture of modern housing and derelict land arising from the expansion of housing in what was a very small, constrained settlement in the times when mining and fishing dominated the economy. This is the view from The Cove.

Ochre stream
The legacy of the mining of the district is complex. Now that there is no pumping, mines are flooded to the level of drainage adits, and water escapes through centuries of spoil and rubbish in the workings. Here water, laden with metals (though principally iron) is escaping into the adjacent Porthtowan River. The oxidation of the iron precipitates ochre (iron oxides and hydroxides) as it comes into contact with the air and forms puddles in this unsurfaced car parking area.
