Godolphin Hill

Highlight • Summit

Fog has its charms, but on top of a hill you want to be able to see a little further.

Bench at Trescowe and Millpool Junction

Highlight • Rest Area

A bench in the middle of a lush green meadow at the intersection of three roads: an ideal place to catch your breath before continuing your ride.

Germoe War Memorial on Tregonning Hill

Highlight • Monument

The war memorial (WW1 & WW2) to the "parish" Germoe marks the top of Tregonning Hill, at 194 meters above sea level. That doesn't sound very high, but it's higher than the rest of the country nearby, and the hill gives great views of the north and south coasts, Mounts Bay, The Lizard etc on a clear day.

Tregonning Hill Trig Point

Highlight • Monument

Trig points are trigonometric stations. This one has a metal plate on top. This was placed to commemorate the golden jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2002. It tells you in which direction villages, towns and places of interest are located and at what distance.

The Preaching Pit

Highlight • Historical Site

The Preaching Pit is a long disused quarry on Tregonning Hill. This is said to have been the place where clergymen once preached to the miners of Breage and Germoe.
For over a hundred years, Methodists, initially from Ashton but later from Balweset, gathered in the Preaching Pit on Pentecost Sunday for their Sunday School celebrations. Today, Christians from many denominations gather here on Pentecost for an ecumenical service.

Great Work Mine, Godolphin

Highlight • Structure

These are the remains of the engine house of the Leeds Shaft, part of the Great Work colliery, one of Cornwall's first and most famous mines. It started in 1538 and was located between Godolphin Hill and Tregonning Hill.

Godolphin House

Highlight • Monument

Godolphin House is a 15th Century manor house that is now owned by the National Trust.

As well as the remarkably well preserved house there are vast grounds and local walks to explore.

The house itself maybe more famous now for being used in the original 1970s BBC series Poldark.
