Langham Hill Engine House

Description

A short 'circular' walk of approximately 3/8 mile from Chargot Woods car park, through the Woodland (a Heritage Landscape) along level and well surfaced paths to the preserved foundations of the Langham Hill Engine House. The Engine house was originally built in 1866 to serve the iron ore mine but in 1878 when the mine became uneconomic everything was dismantled and moved to Burrow Farm two miles away. A pleasant walk with the local history explained on well presented information boards maintained by the West Somerset Mineral Line Association.
