Caradon Hill Mining Landscape
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
You've read the "Poldark" novels or seen the TV show adaptation, you'll appreciate that Cornwall in England was once very much mining country. For centuries, tin and later copper extracted from Cornwall mines helped propel the economy of England. Mining in Cornwall is now completely relegated to history; the last mines closed near the turn of the 21st century. In this video by contributor Inspirecornwall, you'll get an epic bird's eye view of Caradon Hill, once the site of innumerable mines.

Caradon hill is part of Bodmin moor and contains many disused copper and tin mines. The remains of these mines are still present today and many shafts, engine houses, trial pits and tips still dominate the landscape. Also in the area are "The Hurlers" which are a group of three ancient stone circles.
