Carn Marth (not every Cornwall photo can be all sunshine and coast!)

Carn Marth (not every Cornwall photo can be all sunshine and coast!)
The hill of Carn Marth doesn't look much but it has some terrific views and makes for a good 2 hour round trip on foot, except that I can't spare that sort of time at the moment. I have to rely on memories of walks and of photos taken years ago. This is taken just outside the village of St Day, Cornwall on a freezing cold morning.
The scene is today resolutely agrarian but between about 1740 and 1860 it would have been Hell on Earth as tin, copper and arsenic mining occupied nearly all the land you see here. St Day gained the nickname of 'The Richest Square Mile in Cornwall!'
There's very little to be seen of all that now!.
This might interest some of you!

Thank you, Rosa! You've got me thinking, maybe I should set up an Inner Cornwalll album.
