Summary[edit]

Description
English: A Cornish Mining Walk (Unity Wood)

589928 : Previous -- (28 of 34) -- Next : 590244

This photograph is taken from a footpath (part of the Wheal Busy Loop and running left to right at the viewpoint) though the north-eastern arm of Unity Wood.

Ahead is one of the many 589949s that occupy this woodland. This one is safe to visit being properly capped with sturdy, modern concrete and a grill through which one can peer into the depths.

The route of the walk is to the left.

Unity Wood is an important ancient woodland and mining landscape dating back to medieval tin working. --- 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.

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. ---
