There's a terrific pub / guest house in Minions, Herb.
If I could remember it's name I would recommend it to you for your next visit!
Fine shot!

You must be talking about 'The Cheesewring' free house pub/hotel on the corner of the village. Very tempting for us too with folk sat outside taking a bite to eat with their pints. Not enough time for us to do that -photography and exploring getting into the way! Have you visited these mines too Andy?
Cheers, Herb

I confess to confusing my Cornish place names, Herb.
Sorry.
I meant The Mithians Arms in Mithians, a small village near St Agnes! And no I haven't visited Minions, let alone it's mine! My loss!

Just seen this comment Gordon. My thanks. I do wish that Ipernity could do one of the things that Panoramio did - that was to send emails of every new comment to a photo. Unless we accidently look back on a photo we very rarely see new comments to old photos on here. Ah well.

It was a great area to explore with many places like this.
