Redruth
Redruth is a historic mining town in west Cornwall, once at the heart of the world’s richest copper and tin mining district and now part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. It has the hilltop monument at Carn Brea and easy access to the Great Flat Lode trail for walking and cycling, and it feels like a proper working town, away from the coastal resorts.
