An unusual garden feature:

Found this one while exploring a local footpath (near to Cothele Quay for anyone else in Cornwall).

How about having your own full sized drift mine in your garden?!

The above is the view from the footpath.

I tried to get some more detailed shots:

The gauge looks to be about 18", with a tiny mine tub parked just inside the entrance. Pretty neat if you have the space.

(personally I wouldn't be able to resist building a little battery loco to trundle up & down on ;) ).

If anyone wants to find this themselves, it is alongside the footpath that branches off from the main path between Cothele Quay & Calstock.

Is it actually an old drift, or has someone created that as a garden feature?

Where do the tracks lead? I love stuff like that.
