| Name: | Mine tramway on Bagtor Down |
|---|
Summary
Earthwork remains of the tramway which once extended from mine workings at Hemsworthy Mine, along the valley of Bagtor Brook, and eventually to mine dressing floors at Crownley Parks. The flat-topped linear bank is very clear south of Saddle Tor, where it enters the Bagtor enclosure through a gateway. This is now blocked but the two gateposts are in situ. From there it can be traced into the mire but becomes difficult to follow. It becomes clear again near the mine dam, south-east past Bagtor Cottages before entering enclosed land.
