There's an adit immediately below the bridge at Gunnislake on the Cornish side which is an easy trip, about 1/4 mile long with a couple of tiny stopes and interesting mineralisation.  There's also short but interesting stuff on Kit Hill but they take a bit of finding.  If you get hold of Plymouth CG they may be able to suggest other trips in the area
