Gunnislake, such an interesting place for a walk. So, so, so many things to see. It must have been such a busy place when all the mines were working. Out from the car park and up the busy lane by the Dimsons. Where, a local told us, a huge clay pit was dug, used to make Dimson brick. And onwards past the huge, impressive remains of Clitters mine. To find the trackways so carefully installed not so long ago. Now steadily reverting to wilderness. To the Tamar which was quite rushing along for a cuppa by the weirs. And along, along by New Bridge - 1520, so not all that new! Past all the 'No Canoeing' notices then up, up to the cars and the Rifleman Volunteer, called after the local militia apparently.

You really do have to be there ...
