A hidden local gem with picturesque woodland walks through the historical site of an old gunpowder that was abandoned over 100 years ago and which has since been reclaimed by the wood.

Kennal Vale, Ponsanooth – 10/15 minute drive away This is an old gunpowder works where they used to process the gunpowder for use in the quarries. Nowadays it has been reclaimed by nature and is stunning, particularly on a drizzly day as the woods help to protect you from the elements. Google it, see the pictures, even some locals do not know it is there! I can send coordinates to you if you message me.

An absolute gem of a place for dog walks and for children to explore the old buildings used for the gun powder industry that have now been overgrown with moss and foliage.
