South Bedford Consols Adit, Gawton Mine, Tavistock Hamlets, Tavistock District, Devon, England, UK

A branching adit high up the valley side. The initial drive follows the course of a decomposed mineralised vein in the slates. Extensive mineralisation is then encountered with a small amount of stoping off the adit but with access to more comprehensive workings above.
There is some evidence of copper mineralisation but extensive arsenic mineralisation is present and is said to carry small amounts of Anatase.
