At the South end of Adrasan Bay there is and old ‘donkey-track’ to the top of the surrounding hill and then over the other side to some old mine workings.
Take the dirt road at the South end of Adrasan Bay towards the fishing boat moorings. The ‘Mine Track’ starts near the high point of this dirt road on the right hand side just before the cove .
There are good views of Adrasan Bay after just a few minutes up the track.
The track is in good condition in places but rubbly and partially overgrown in others.
Near the top of the Mine Track – great views of Adrasan and the distant mountain range.
At the top of the climb – about 1hour take the left hand track towards the mine workings.
Overgrown track in places but you will find a way through or around.
There are several small mine entrances in the area.
Narrow shaft and looks unsafe for exploring!
Another entrance.
A good view at end of track near the mineshafts.
Later in the day on the return down the track- the colours of Adrasan Bay change as the sun moves around and Moses Mountain becomes more dramatic.

Both walks are well worth the effort.But you do need stout walking shoes or boots, and trousers for the “Old mine” climb as your legs can take a beating from many thorny plants on route! Beautiful views, and interesting flora and fauna, so make sure you have a camera with you. Look out, espescially for wild orchids, wild boar, and many other unusual sights!!!
Getting past the group of goats occupying one corner of the track was quite daunting!
Needs someone to go up with secateurs for those bushes – the goats are obviously not doing a good job.
