Not to scale.

The East Caradon Mine sett occupies the south eastern corner of Caradon Hill. To its west lay the rich ground of South Caradon and the eastern boundary adjoins the Glasgow Caradon Consols.

Around its lower section runs the trackbed of the Liskeard and Caradon Railway with a branch running up to near the dressing floors. The tramway running up to Seccombe's shaft was also the route of flat-rods 

The remains of three shafts exist and a fourth 'Footway' is lost in the area east of the Railway (ref Dines). Within this sett some subsidiary buildings still remain in other use, the most important of these is the ex-count house now the Wheal Tor Hotel.
