Tor Wood Mine, Devon
Lydford: grid reference SX537891
Dating from the early 1820's Tor Wood is little more than a prospective trial for copper and lead situated in the Cranford Brook Valey near Wheal Fanny on the western fringes of Dartmoor. It was abandoned by 1828 and may have been worked some time since then.
There are no records of output.
