The Mineral Tramways Trails are a series of public leisure trails located in mid west Cornwall.
The network comprises over 60 kilometres (37 mi) of trails, which largely follow the routes of former tram and railway lines for transporting goods and materials to and from the many copper and tin mines which historically operated in the region.
