Dist:0.6km<br/>Managed by the National Trust since 2000, this was originally the site of much mining activity, with the Copper mine here operating from the 1600s to the 1840s, hence the warning on the sign of the presence of mineshafts. Much of the tree cover dates from after the cessation of mining.

The count house was the centre for accounting for the product of the Godolphin copper mine http://www.cornwall-calling.co.uk/mines/wendron/godolphin.htm.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Also marked on maps as Gwedna House, this was the account house for Godolphin Mine, which was under what is now Godolphin Woods. It now serves as a National Trust education centre and offices, the Trust having acquired the freehold in 1999 from Lysbeth Mary Wolstencroft Church. It was originally built in the early 19th century and is grade II listed - for listing particulars see http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1142224. A past resident was the artist Walter Elmer Schofield, who lived here from 1941 until his death in 1944, his son having bought the Godolphin estate in 1937.
