This walk starts about a mile east of St Agnes, in an area called Wheal Kitty, named after the once prosperous mine nearby. The route takes us through a pretty valley, known locally as the 'Jericho Valley' once a thriving Cornish tin mining district. No-one quite knows how the valley came by it's name! Mother nature has reclaimed the scarring on the landscape of the former industry, leaving very little evidence behind.
Some of the mine workings have been preserved and renovated at Blue Hills Tin Streams, a site now open to tourists. We take a brief look around in this video but for a more detailed tour and see what there is here, we have a bonus video on our Patreon page.
After visiting the Tin Streams, we take a little detour towards the coast, Trevellas Porth with stunning sea views, before tackling the steep climb up the South West Coast Path towards St Agnes. This steep hill is part of the route of the ACU Land's End Trial, organised annually by the Motor Cycling Club, challenging both cars and motor cycles to reach the top of the cliff path on a rough surface.
Continuing on the coast path, we gained views of Trevaunance Cove and towards St Agnes. The walk does not take us into the village, and instead we headed back to Wheal Kitty, a complex of workshops and retail outlets in the former mine buildings before returning to our car.
This is not a paid promotion. We paid for our entry and also for the earrings.
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on RU-vid, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!

We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.
