The Hensroost (Mine, dis)

The Hensroost stands as a fragmentary reminder of Dartmoor's industrial past, when tin mining transformed patches of moorland into hives of activity. The ruins scattered across this site mark where miners once laboured to extract ore from the granite bedrock beneath the heather and grass.

Today, the site offers walkers a tangible connection to Dartmoor's working heritage. The remains are modest but evocative, best visited as part of a broader exploration of the moor's mining landscape. This corner of Dartmoor tells the story of those who sought their living from the earth itself.
