Dist:0.2km<br/>The farm track leads up to open farmland which has little protection from the westerly winds that come up from Tintagel and the Atlantic (both in the far distance). At this level there are many open slate quarries in the area and here on the left of the farm track is evidence of slates and quarrying.

Dist:1.3km south<br/>The Prince of Wales quarry is unusual as it was worked with a beam engine. Most beam engines in Cornwall were used for deep mining; pumping water, lowering men and removing material. This beam engine,restored in 1976, was used to drive a wire ropeway to move slate around the quarry.
