The 7½ mile multi-user trail, a little to the south of Camborne and Redruth, circles Carn Brea hill, around what was once one of the busiest tin and copper mining areas in the world.  The trail consists of well-laid tracks on former mineral tramways.  Signage is good and there are only two minor climbs along the way.   More…

The path is generally good with much improvement made by CCC in 2010.

There are some steep gradients and Uneven paths to the south west around Troon so  care and large scooters is the call of the day in some places.
