Geocache Description:

Level walking path seating area and shaded spots whilst you read up on all there is to offer.

As the British empire spread across the world, the sturdy Cornish miners and their traditions went with it. The 19th century, a time of gold rushes, brought Cornish miners to America, Australia, South Africa, Jamaica, and Canada where many of them have remained.

Do you know where any can be found?

A tradition carried on amongst miners was to fasten a large gorse bush at the very top of the hoist. The gorse must be in flower and it was said to bring luck to the mine for the following twelve months.

Great spot to learn a bit of history....
The camouflaged container with the usual plus:
