St Michael's Mount - Best View Marazion Beach and Red River  Looking out over 'Red River' as it flows across Marazion Beach. As you can see it isn't very red any more - it was originally named because of discolouration from mining spoil. Oh, and there's St Mic... Marazion Beach  The western end of Marzion Beach as it blends into Longrock beach and curves around to Penzance in the distance... Broken Down Old Hut  I believe Stonefly posted a photo of this same old broken down old building a couple of years back. Anyway, here it is again!... User's Login

BUTTSPILL MINE AND DAFFODIL RAMBLEThere’s a chance for walkers to explore the mining heritage and once lucrative daffodil farming industry of the Tamar Valley with a free guided ramble on Wednesday 21 March. Organised by Caradon District Council, the Buttspill Mine and Daffodil Ramble is one of a series of monthly walks for health and pleasure. The day starts at 10.00am in Bere Alston in the car park next to the parish hall. Botanist Martin Summers and local historian Len Copley will lead the walk from the village down to the former daffodil farm at Tuckermarsh, overlooking Calstock and the River Tamar. Following a lunch break at the Edgcumbe Hotel in Bere Alston, the walk resumes with a visit to the 12th century Buttspill lead and silver mine, returning to Bere Alston via Buttspill Wood and Tuckermarsh Quay at around 3.30pm. The walk is around four and a half miles long and includes muddy tracks and rough terrain. The Buttspill Mine and Daffodil Ramble is free of charge, but places need to be booked in advance. Walkers will also need to bring or buy their own lunches. To find out more about this and other walks, or to book a place, contact Pat Gormley on 01579 348749. |
