Dist:0.5km<br/>Cleared of undergrowth in the 1990s, the 25’ diameter waterwheel is being reclaimed by nature in 2009. A ring gear on the inner shroud plates engaged with a pinion mounted on the wall above and via drive shafts powered machinery in barns at Trebarwith Farm 200 yards or more away. The waterwheel was fed by a small pond and the limited water supply probably only allowed a couple of hours running time, before the pond ran dry. The area round Tintagel is watermill country – many of the farms had water power, in addition to the grain mills and mines

Dist:1.0km<br/>Post box number PL34 121, set into a small wall at the roadside. The salty air hasn't improved the steel at all. And it's slightly skew-wiff - the photo is not tilted.
