Jericho Valley lies to the east of St Agnes, between the hamlet of Barkla Shop and a small shingle beach called Trevellas Coombe. The lower reaches are also known as Blue Hills or Trevellas valley. The valley is now a peaceful woodland path, but it was once heavily industrialised with tin mining over hundreds, possibly thousands, of years.

In the late 1800s the lower part of the valley was dominated by the Blue Hills Tin Mining Company, and the Jericho Stamps there operated until around 1910. Part of this still runs today as the ‘Blue Hills Tin Streams’ Company, producing tin jewellery, along with a visitor shop and centre.

In the late 1960s Jericho Valley was nicknamed ‘Happy Valley’ when a group of hippies formed a commune there.
