Nance Wood, Cornwall

The Mineral Tramway heading towards Portreath

Uploader's Comments

The tramroad originally connected the tin and copper mines in the hills around Redruth and Camborne with the sea at Portreath, which has a good harbour for export. It's now converted to a footpath and cycleway, part of an extensive network of old mine roads in the district.
