Levant Mine and Beam Engine
historicClinging to the clifftop above the Atlantic, Levant is the oldest surviving beam engine in Cornwall — and the most dramatically sited. Restored and operated by volunteers, the engine ran until 1930; its rhythmic motion and the smell of hot oil transport visitors to the industrial heart of Penwith's mining age. The site is part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site.

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.
