Cornwall Council like this iconic pointy sky tip, which they call TC1 (all 211,492 m3 of it! -who worked that out?)and neighbouring Trelavour Pyramid -TC2 (only 142,053 m3), which they feel makes a significant positive contribution to the landscape of the China Clay area and that their removal would have an adverse visual impact, and should be left as they are. Their support is tucked away in their mammoth 146 page (+ many appendices) report - Restoration & Tipping Strategy for St Austell China Clay Area - aimed at smartening up 300 years of feverish china clay quarrying and dumping -leaving a chaotic mishmash of 30 operational areas of which 19 are still active. Cornish Lithium are currently drilling a test bore hole at the toe of this hill - hoping for big things in a new venture into lithium mining within the china clay area -so this perfect little cone may not yet be safe despite the Council's blessing . Prickly gorse to curse through twice (up and down) on E ridge path. | Chris Pearson | 09/02/2023 |
Quality, more prickly ascent than expected. Cornish flag at the summit. | Adrian | 12/07/2022 |
Public path from W than good path up SE ridge. Classic sand pyramid, covered in heather gorse trees and some cotoneaster, steepest slopes bare. | RHW | 14/05/2017 |
Parked in layby SE of St Dennis, at road jtn north of the two pleasant pyramidal hills (vegetated spoil heaps). Followed permissive path between them then ascended east rib on well- used narrow steep path up to obvious top. Great views | Denise | 19/03/2017 |
Great little mound. Car park at road junction to W, path up E side. Good views from the small top. | RichardM | 19/03/2017 |
Parked to east on road then easy ascent of Brewers Pyramid with Iain Brown then on to bag Trelavour Pyramid. | Dugswell2 | 11/03/2017 |
Small parking area at road junc to W of hill. Permissive path runs between the 2 pyramids. Veered off NE following faint tracks through undergrowth which seemed to disappear; followed slope east as it ascended, veering south for final leg to top. Heavily vegetated lower slopes, lot of rhododendron, upper sections only partially so. Steep sandy knife-edge was fun. Descended same way then across to Trelavour. | jonglew | 21/02/2017 |
No obstructions to access - a fun ascent. | Chris Peart | 16/01/2017 |
