Visit - A9 Caradon Mining District

A9 Caradon Mining District - Ranndir Balweyth Bre Garn 

Big skies, boom and bust 

This rugged, windswept and mostly treeless Area sits high up in a remote but beautiful corner of Bodmin Moor. Surrounded by gorse, wildlife and mining settlements the engine houses stand stark against the open moorland. Rising dramatically from the surrounding plain, the granite dome of Caradon Hill dominates the Area and is encircled by engine houses, chimney stacks, thousands of tonnes of waste rock from the various mines and quarries, and the trackbed of the Liskeard & Caradon Railway. 

‘The remoteness of the Area means it is a wonderful place to escape the crowds’.
