(Junction of a bridle path with the minor road between Wheal Busy and Todpool) Image : Previous -- (10 of 34) -- Next : Image I’ve included this photograph because one day some years ago I met another walker coming up from the path and, stopping to chat, he told me that the pole on the right of the picture had once been taller with a bridleway sign on it. According to this person someone who objected to people using such routes had taken a grinder to this and a number of other poles in the area so as to remove the signs! Continue southerly along the lane (right) in the direction of Todpool until you reach a road junction on the left. --- Wheal is Cornish for Mine and this circular walk visits a number of mine ruins in the area between Chacewater and Scorrier. Buildings, chimneys and pits belonging to Wheal Busy, Unity Wood and Killifreth Engine House amongst others are visited. Some of the walking is on minor roads and there is one major road to cross, so please take care. Also, although there is an easy, safe footpath through Unity Wood, you should not leave the path except where marked. The wood is private and there are a great many old mine workings whose safety should not be relied upon. --- To go to the photograph for the start of the walk, click here Image

(Minor road crossing the Chacewater to Scorrier Road) Image : Previous -- (9 of 34) -- Next : Image Be careful crossing this main road. The speed limit is 40mph but on the day I took this photograph there were some who clearly hadn’t learnt to read big numbers. Continue southerly, passing two more chimneys, along the lane in the direction of Todpool. --- Wheal is Cornish for Mine and this circular walk visits a number of mine ruins in the area between Chacewater and Scorrier.
