This cache has been moved to save the ants who for some reason decided to build a nest in the hole i hollowed out for the cache. It is also a busy main road through the area and is probably best we are not poking around the bridge looking for a cache with cars whizzing by.
Enjoy looking for the Save The Ants Cache!
Drinnick Mill Railway line was built in 1869/74. It was to connect the main line at Burngullow (st Mewan) with the cornwall mineral railway at st Dennis junction.
At the time it was known as the Newquay and Cornwall junction Railway. ​
It was intended to run as a passanger service to Newquay but a difference in the gauges was partly responsible for that never happening.
The standard gauge was used between Drinnick (Nanpean) and Newquay but they laid the broad gauge between Drinnick and Burngullow.
Dispite this the clay industry has used this line for many years and still does between Burngullow and Parkandillick.
