Botallack Mine
historicThe cliff-edge engine houses of Botallack are among the most evocative industrial monuments in Britain — stone towers clinging to near-vertical cliffs above the sea, from which miners once descended into shafts running a third of a mile beneath the Atlantic. Part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, the site is managed by the National Trust and the views alone are worth the walk.

A short walk from the National Trust car park at Botallack village, it offers sweeping views north to Cape Cornwall and south to the Brisons rocks.
