Bridge over the Carnon River
This bridge carried the Redruth and Chasewater Railway that opened in 1825 to link the mining areas of Gwenap and St Day with the port of Devoran. It was also intended to link Chacewater but that section was never completed.
The line closed in 1915.

Coast to Coast cycle path near Twelveheads
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.

Spoil heap by the track
Mining spoil by the side of this track appears to be a 'work in progress', picked over by curious folk (like me). This appears to be part of the Cusvey Mine, but such details are not easy to confirm.
