Geocache Description:

A small green container. Not as small as a nano but smaller than a micro :-)

The cache lies just east of the village of Pool between Camborne and Redruth on the northern side of the A3047 road.

There are two main engine houses that have been renovated and are in the ownership of the National Trust.


The westernmost winding engine house (whim) lies atop Michell's shaft and houses a 36-inch rotative beam engine (above) and is open to the public in season as is the Cornish Mines & Engines Discovery Centre at Taylor's shaft adjacent to the Morrison's supermarket at Pool.

Here it is possible to see working models of the mine, a film show and to walk through the flue of the EPAL chimmney and into the pumping engine house over Taylor's shaft.

The cache is located at this shafts 'GATEWAY'

A Quick cache and dash! Be aware of muggles in the car park!

DON'T FORGET YOUR PEN!
