Disused lane under disused railway line, Tregullow, Scorrier, Cornwall

I went for some long walks around the old Redruth tin mining area and came upon this path under the former railway line (the railway line is now a minor road in this section).
Possibly better on full screen.

I can only imagine that the path was dug under the railway line to make life a little easier for the gardeners and workmen attached to the nearby Scorrier House.

Isabel,

Reinhold,
Nick,
Many thanks!
The path seemed fairly well maintained but didn't start or end at an obvious destination. It just shows how much change to the landscape there has been since the end of the tin mining industry in these parts in the 1870s.

What a fantastic picture, Andy - it's quite an old wall and tunnel, isn't it? It really does invite you to go through the tunnel and explore what's the other side.

Thank you, Volker!
Actually while you were typing your comment, I remembered where this was taken and I have changed the map location accordingly!. I also remembered that the railway track is now a minor road at this point!
