Carn Brea walks

The walk starts in a free car park (with height restrictions) and follows some of the Great Flat Lode Trail, into Churchtown and Carn Brea Village. The route then leads back onto the Flat Lode Trail for a short period, then climbs up for the views on to the Carn, before descending down As this is a circular route, the choice of which way to go is yours; however, in my view, the route plot offers the best way. I have listed this route as Moderate purely due to the number of obstacles to overcome.

From the well-published Great Flat Lode Trail, with the whole area having a history of mining for tin and copper, it is perhaps no surprise that there are many routes across the whole area, where perhaps the miners used to get from their homes to the mines where they worked. It's when walking on such paths, one can only wonder about the hard work and hours they toiled. That is where we now see green fields where once was a patchwork of mining activities. This walk passes through some hamlets where perhaps the miners lived.

The route then follows designated footpaths down to Carharrack, following a road back to Lanner and then climbing back up the valley to the disused rail track, returning to the start. This walk could be completed in two sections (S) to (4), catch a convenient bus back towards Redruth, and the bus stop at the top of the hill. The second leg (E) on a reverse path to (4), again catching the bus, as above. The time taken will depend on the pace and time spent exploring the area This is a moderate walk due to the climb up from the Lanner valley, so late in the walk.

The trail follows an old mining stream down the valley before meeting up with an old mining tramway, which in its day went from Portreath to Devoran on the south coast. The old mining works, now a visitor attraction, features exhibitions of mining history, other attractions, and a café.
