This week the WAG’s walk was held in the Tamar Vally, exploring the Tamar Trails and the Devon Great Consols Gulworthy. The mines started as Copper mines, but also started mining the Arsenic. Between 1844 and 1902, they produced over 72,000 tons of refined arsenic.
We had a good day as it stayed dry, while we were out on the ramble. With the ground being so wet we had to modify our route, so did not complete the circular route planned. We had heavy rain on both journeys, to and from the Tamar Trails car park.
