App-guided walk: Portreath to Wheal Tye

Portreath to Wheal Tye

A circular walk along the rugged coast from Portreath towards Porthtowan passing small coves and remnants of the clifftop mines beside the old RAF base, and returning via the horse-drawn tramway that brought fortune to Portreath harbour, where its "lighthouse" and "monkey house" remain from the shipping activity. 7.3 miles - Strenuous.
