The Tresavean Trail

The Tresavean Trail connects from the Redruth and Chacewater Railway to the Tresavean branch of the Hayle railway which was built to serve the Tresavean Copper Mine. This originally hauled copper ore and Welsh coal along its entirely horse-drawn section from the top of Buller Hill. A series of granite setts for its 4’ 8½” gauge rails can still be seen in places along the former track bed. The Southern end of the trail informally connects to other lanes and bridleways.
Tresavean Trail is literally 2 minutes from the doorstep of Chy Lowen and is a fabulous place to explore. Mostly it is a fairly flat off-road multi-purpose trail, suitable for walking, running and cycling, and can be easily accessed.
