 | | Road and rail lines meet with some squalor at tiny BRITANNIA BEACH, 53km from Vancouver, whose BC Museum of Mining is the first reason to take time out from admiring the views (mid-May to June, Sept and Oct Wed-Sun 10am-4.30pm; July and Aug daily 10am-4.30pm; $8.50; tel 604/896-2233, www.bcmuseumofmining.org). |
 | | Centring around what was, in the 1930s, the largest producer of copper in the British Empire, the museum is housed in a huge, derelict-looking building on the hillside and is chock-full of hands-on displays, original working machinery and archive photographs. |
 | | Beyond Britannia Beach a huge, chimney-surrounded pulp mill comes into view across Howe Sound to spoil the scenic wonder along this stretch, though Browning Lake in Murrin Provincial Park makes a nice picnic spot. |
