Dist:0.4km<br/>This is the start of the bridleway which crosses some of the old Mine workings of Wheal Buller, one of the most productive copper mines in 19th Century Cornwall. There are unfortunately no old engine houses still standing hereabouts but the mine Count House and Captain's House were eventually saved and are now privately owned.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Almost nothing remains standing on the site of the Wheal Buller mine but the Count House has been restored from a derelict state into private residences. The mine count house was the place where the accounts of the mine were kept and also the place where the investors were lavishly entertained four times a year.

Dist:0.7km<br/>With a distant view towards Falmouth and, on a clear day, to the sea beyond. The windows went many years ago and the railings are modern additions to prevent anyone falling through the opening.
