Tolgus Mount

Tolgus forms a valley to the northwest of Redruth.^[7] It lies in the parish of Redruth to the northwest across the A30 road and is spread over an area which is known as Tolgus with parts such as West Tolgus, South Tolgus, East Tolgus.^[4][8][9] Paynter's Lane End lies to the northwest and the hamlet of North Country to the northeast. There is a stream running in the area which runs under the A30.

Next to Cornwall Gold lies the old mill at Tolgus, although this northern part of the village is closest to North Country and often considered part of it. Tolgus Tin, covering 20 acres, is now a working museum, showcasing the old mining machinery.^[10] The land surrounding this mill forms part of West Cornwall Bryophytes Site of Special Scientific Interest.^[11]

There is a candle factory at Tolgus Mount "where the path leads towards the Old Portreath Road".^[12] There is a house called Tolgus House in the village, occupied by Edmund Percival James in the 1960s.^[13][14] Other features in the area include Brunton's arsenic calciner, Tehidy Holiday Park, Tricky's Hotel,^[15] Tolgus Cottage and Dalgover House. There is a full-scale replica of a steam carriage which William Murdoch built as a working model in 1784 called "The Murdoch Flyer" situated in the centre of Tolgus roundabout on the other side of the A30 on the outskirts of Redruth. The road from there leads across the A30 to Tolgus.^[16]
