Lostwithiel: by the site of Restormel iron mine The Restormel Royal Mine site occupied a linear sett, running north-south, which included the woodland to the left. Workings were partly in an openwork and partly underground. 200,000 tons of iron ore was raised between the 1850s and closure in 1886. The ore was taken by tramway, which included an incline plane to lower wagons to the Fowey valley. Horses then hauled the freight to quays on the Fowey at Lostwithiel town
