Dist:0.9km<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.

Dist:1.0km<br/>Towards the engine house, which was completed in 1871. The steam beam engine was used to de-water the quarry pit and haul out slate for processing or to be dumped on the waste tips. Partial restoration was undertaken in 1976 and the structure is now in the care of North Cornwall District Council. The quarry site is accessible to the public as a trail.

Dist:1.1km west<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
