A4 The Wendron Mining District - Ranndir Balweyth Gwendron
Tranquil rural area famed for tin-streaming
The Wendron Area of the World Heritage Site is one of the smallest, however it is still rich in mining history and has some of the best-preserved examples of mineworkers’ smallholdings anywhere in the Site. Explore the beautiful open moorland on foot to wind through footpaths and lanes leading to mining settlements and villages where Cornish miners once lived.
‘Wendron has one of the longest recorded histories of tin working in all of Cornwall’.
