The Eden Project is an educational charity and social enterprise. Twenty years ago, they transformed this old china clay pit into an amazing rainforest and desert biome. The park is paid entry but really worth it. This trail isn't paid entry and follows the top of the quarry so that you can see down over the huge domes.
