Tehidy Country Park
naturalTwo hundred acres of ancient woodland, lakes and ornamental grounds surrounding the former estate of the Basset family — the great mining dynasty whose wealth built much of west Cornwall. The lakes and streams are colonised by kingfishers, while red squirrels have been reintroduced to the woodlands. A remarkably tranquil escape from the busy coastal resorts nearby.

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.

East Pool Mine
historicTwo enormous Cornish beam engines — among the finest surviving examples in the world — stand at East Pool Mine in their original engine houses. The larger of the two, the 90-inch pumping engine, is the largest surviving beam engine in Cornwall. National Trust guides bring the machinery to life, explaining the extraordinary ingenuity of the engineers who kept the mines dry.
