Free car park on rough ground near Wheal Busy. ROAD CLOSURE The road is blocked if you try to approach from the Scorrier - Chacewater road (although many have squeezed through). Alternative route - approach from Blackwater, turning down the Chacewater road beside Hawkins garage and taking the first right once you've gone under the A30. Continue through the 'Road Closed' signs as the closure is beyond your destination.
