There are plenty of artifacts to be seen at this old mine, adits, various ruined buildings and a very large abandoned water turbine which is to do with the nearby power station.
The gps is a bit dodgy in this area, walking from Mary Tavy, cross the wooden footbridge turn left, passing a cave on your right walk through a small gate, there’s a mine adit is on your right, continue up the path and you will see many overgrown building on both sides of the path the ones below the path are especially interesting.
