Hello,

I have lived in Cornwall all my life. In Perranporth, when I was a child I used to Visit a place called 'Yellow Sands', near Chyverton nature reserve Does anyone one know of this place and what the area was used for please? I have searched high and low, but found nothing :(

Is this the place in question? A fair way from Ventongimps though.

It could be the sand/tailings from the old Chiverton lead mine which is not far South of the nature reserve, see sat image here:

I got a lot of my Galena specimens from there back in the day.

Lozz.
