Wheal Jewell

Horndon, Tavistock, Devon

Grid ref: SX 5230 8147

Wheal Jewell sits among the rolling granite slopes of Dartmoor, its weathered stone structures slowly surrendering to the moor. This tin mine operated during the 19th century, when Dartmoor's valleys echoed with the sound of picks and pumps as miners extracted wealth from beneath the earth.
