Some animal or other seen from bridleway 301/61/3. Don't eat the buttercups!

Bridleway 301/61/3 proves awkward for walkers without wellies or waders as it approaches the junction with bridleway 301/60/2 west of Wheal Busy.

(Track through the heathland scrub) Image : Previous -- (4 of 34) -- Next : Image Pass the boulders, which have been placed to help prevent fly tipping, and follow the path to the right. This takes you in a north-easterly direction and downhill, through heathland, toward Wheal Busy. --- Wheal is Cornish for Mine and this circular walk visits a number of mine ruins in the area between Chacewater and Scorrier. Building, 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
