Bissoe
Bissoe ((コーンウォール語:Besow), meaning ''birch trees'') is a hamlet in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated five miles (8 km) east of Redruth in a former tin mining area.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 204 ''Truro & Falmouth'' ISBN 978-0-319-23149-4〕
Bissoe was the site of an early arsenic extraction works, the second such commercial works in Britain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=World Heritage Cornwall )〕 Frederick Hamilton Davey succeeded his father as Works Manager of the Cornwall Arsenic Company's factory at Bissoe in 1902, having acted as his father's assistant for several years.
The name is believed to derive from the Cornish word ''besow'' meaning ''birch trees''. Bissoe is the home of a small number of businesses, a cycle hire company, a concrete products company and an environmental waste management company called Clear-flow Ltd.
Bissoe lies on the ''Coast to Coast Trail'' long-distance footpath and cycle trail. The trail is 11 miles (17.5 km) long and links the interior of west Cornwall to the harbour of Portreath on the north coast and the former port of Devoran in the south. The trail follows the course of now-disused railways formerly used to carry imported coal and extracted minerals for export. ''Bissoe Valley Nature Reserve'' lies to the south of the hamlet.
