Hiking
Just south east of Redruth, Carn Marth hill has a summit reaching 771 feet (235 m). Once heavily quarried for granite, there's a large pool near the top which can be eerie in cloud and stunning sunshine.
From the summit, enjoy rather extravagant views in every direction, particularly of Cornwall's western coastline. The hill also has an amphitheatre, frequently showing wonderful performances from local and touring groups.

I climbed this after a wrong turn on West Kernow Way but I'm glad I did!
