Minions & the Cheesewring 10 October 2018. Close at hand is Phoenix United tin mine, rail served by an incline that crossed the lengthy line that ran on the foreground embankment. Kit Hill is the high ground in the middle distance, with Callington spread out to its right, whilst Dartmoor is just about visible in the haze.
Running across the foreground is one of the main railways that served mines and quarries in the area, this one heading northwards (left) to serve branches to quarries on Bearah Tor and Kilmar Tor, plus the longest of the three to a terminus near the Bronze Age Trewortha Village.
