Introduction

The Reserve follows the course of the Red River from Tolvaddon on the edge of the A30 through wooded valleys and old mine workings to where it meets the Atlantic at Gwithian Bay.

Long associated with mining it gets its name,from the colour of the mining wastes that used to be washed into the river.

Now it has been designated a Wildspace! Local Nature Reserve which means that the wildlife and archaeological features will be protected for future generations.
