In our walk today we take a wander through Cornish mining history, discovering the affect of its boom and bust on the local village of Chacewater.
We start in Wheal Busy, a mining heritage site near Chacewater in Cornwall. We use an old miners track passing through a valley desolated by mining. The track soon becomes a pretty, country lane, tree-lined as it weaves through farmland, eventually arriving in the busy, popular village of Chacewater.
The walk explores the development of the village and touches on some of the church history before following a babbling stream and climb back to Wheal Busy car park.
With an optional detour, uncover a little gem, Wheal Busy Chapel, a bible Christian Chapel built during the boom of mining in the area.

The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on YouTube, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!

We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.
