Many of the large granite and stone
constructed engine houses can still be seen along the trail - a long lasting
tribute to Cornwall's Industrial Heritage. Much of the trail follows the route
of two mineral tramways - the Portreath Tram Road and the Redruth and Chasewater
Railway - which were built for the transportation of copper ore.

The main trail is easily manageable and does not require the use of specialist cycles but
an optional additional route is available for those mountain bikers who enjoy
the challenge of a more demanding terrain. The trail is clearly signposted
along the whole of its route. Please respect the rights of walkers and horse
riders using the trail.
