Access for All

Thanks to support from the Cornwall National Landscape, the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site worked with the Sensory Trust to develop Access for All resources for visitors. 

Initially created for Area A1 – St Just Mining District and Area A7 – St Agnes Mining District, these resources provide practical information on access, terrain, facilities and parking, helping visitors plan their visit with confidence.

Available through our visitor pages, the resources also suggest alternative locations that may offer a more accessible experience. For example, visitors who find the cliff-top mine workings at St Agnes challenging may wish to explore Geevor Mine, with its accessible parking and surfaced routes, or Botallack, where a National Trust Tramper is available.

Thanks to additional funding from the Cornwall National Landscape, we teamed up again with the Sensory Trust to develop detailed access information for the mining landscape around Caradon Hill and the village of Minions. Located within Section 12 of the Cornwall National Landscape, this remarkable part of the World Heritage Site offers opportunities to explore Cornwall’s rich mining heritage  while making informed choices about routes and locations that best meet individual access needs.

The addition of the Area A9 - Caradon Mining District resource provides more opportunities for people to experience and enjoy the outstanding landscapes, history and heritage of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site.
