Definitely a lot more to ride in that area but I appreciate you can only publish what’s on PRoW. Worth exploring for anyone in the area…look up the local MTB groups and we’ll tell you where it’s worth deviating

There is a very good pamphlet called Mining Trails which covers the whole area that you were riding, a friend of mine who lives in Redruth gave it to me last year. I had put it on the shelf with the rest of my route maps. However having read your article in the magazine I took it down for a second look and definitely will try and get there to visit him and ride some trails. The pamphlet unfolds to A3 size with a detailed map, all the routes (colour coded) and lots of info on what to see while riding the area. All the info is also at this website – https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/environment-and-planning/countryside/cycle-routes-and-trails/the-mineral-tramways/
