About quarter of a mile south east of Redruth. After visiting St Day, parked near start of footpath heading up onto Carn Marth from north west. Straightforward route, bit muddy and rocky.

Parked at end of lane near water tanks. A track goes up through an old quarry with steps out and round to the bridleway which continues up to the trig point. Nice views.

Splendid one to bag. Parked at metal gates and entered old quarry face. Wrong altitude but no need to worry. Turn left and steps take you up the the trig. Keep bearing left on FP and you can't miss it. Quality views.

Parked a few hundred yards past the entrance to Myrtle Farm in a wide area near a metal gate. Walked through gate and into huge quarry. Went up path to the right and then followed it round to the left until reached the trig, which is set just off the footpath. Nice views and the field next to it had three sweet little ponies and a llama in it.

Shame about the mist as the views from this one should be excellent. Close to an old quarry/mine and its settlement, so some interesting nearby undulations.

One of four I can see from my house and am looking @ it as I enter this. One of the best spots to view Cornwall looking up to Brown Willy (Bodmin Moor in the East (37 Miles away)). A favourite hence high score.

We approached this one from Carn Marth Lane where it is possible to park, and walked up past the old mine building. It was misty on the summit so there were no views but the flooded quarry on the summit is interesting. The area is used by horse riders, mountain bikers, dog walkers and motorbike scramblers and was quite busy when we were there on a cold December afternoon. Plug missing.
