Buttern Hill lies almost four miles southeast of Camelford in the Altarnun parish of North Cornwall. The mine worked a tin and wolfram lodes but there is very little other information on the mine. There are no records of output.

Now that 'World Heritage' status has been achieved Cornwall in Focus will monitor developments and learn how the mines of North Cornwall fare within the overall Mining framework.

For those of you with possibly a little more time to explore, once you've done 'the tourist bit', why not explore Cornwall's industrial heritage through its Tin and Copper Mines or learn more from my Cornish Bookstore
