The castle at Carn Brea with the sea at Porthtowan in the distance. The castle was built in the 15th century as a hunting lodge and has been a restaurant for at least the past 30 years. The same owners but has been closed for some years on and off. Currently open and it seems to offer a sort of French / Indian fusion. I'll look at reviews. OK here goes: www.google.es/search?q=carn+brea+restaurant&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwim49Tt7Z3-AhVTQ0EAHUT9CU8Q7xYoAHoECAkQAQ&biw=1252&bih=556&dpr=1.09) Sight and sound: A favourite Beethoven piano sonata, expertly analysed by Andras Schiff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk-iqxqixhY&t=255s

Cornwall, Redruth, granite tor of Carn Brae. St Ives Bay can just be seen in the distance.

From Carn Brae to Carn Marth, near Redruth. Between 300 and 150 years ago this was one of the most industrialized places on the Planet. You wouldn't know it now! (Although one old chimney-stack is still just visible in the valley to the right).

Carn Brae, Redruth, Cornwall. (One of the very few photos of Cornwall not previously uploaded on ipernity. I did post a few of these on Pano which one or two of you may remember.)

The Basset Memorial in the distance. Carn Brae hill dominates the landscape above the old Cornish tin mining towns of Redruth and Camborne

From Carn Brae to Carn Marth, with monbretia.

A 15th century hunting lodge, added to in the 19th century. It overlooks Redruth in Cornwall.

typical granite shapes.

Recently a gatepost but perhaps a menhir in ancient times? The jury is still out on the question.

On the left, possibly a menhir (standing stone) once, and certainly used as a gatepost more recently.

Carn Brae Castle can just be seen through the fog and above the granite and heather.

Built in 1836 to Lord Francis Basset, Baron de Dunstanville, a tin 'mine owner who was revered by his employees' ... apparently.

This large granite boulder on Carn Brae is good fun for scrambling and bouldering on.
