Kennall Vale at Ponsonooth is part of the Cornish World Heritage site, being a gunpowder factory supplying Gwennap Pit, once the richest of all Cornwall’s mining districts. Coincidently John Wesley preached at Gwennap and termed the pit “the most magnificent spectacle this side of heaven”
I love visiting here. It is full of trees, to dampen the air, and historic building and the leats supplying water to the mills. It is a photographers paradise, as well as being a Nature Reserve.
