The Great Flat Lode, Carn Arthen, Piece, and Carn Brea Monument
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.
