Wheal Coates
historicThe engine houses of Wheal Coates cling to the cliff above Chapel Porth in one of the most photographed industrial landscapes in Cornwall. The Towanroath shaft pumping engine house — roofless, its walls darkened by decades of Atlantic weather — is a monument of extraordinary drama. The clifftop walk connecting it to St Agnes Head passes more ruined mine buildings at every turn.
