Portreath Beach
beachPortreath Beach is a memorable stretch of Cornwall coast near Portreath, known for its sand, Atlantic light and easy access to the sea. Depending on the tide and weather, it can feel either wild and dramatic or calm enough for a slower beach day, with coastal paths and cliff views adding to the appeal.

Portreath Harbour
tourismPortreath Harbour is one of those Cornish places that works both as a base and as an attraction in its own right, with enough character to justify a detour near Portreath. Harbour life, local food, sea air and the surrounding walks usually matter as much as any single sight.
1.0 km away
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.

Trevithick's Cottage
historicThe birthplace of Richard Trevithick, the Cornish engineer who built the world's first steam-powered locomotive and revolutionised the mining industry, is preserved as a modest but evocative memorial. His high-pressure steam engine transformed global industry, yet Trevithick died penniless in Dartford — a story that speaks volumes about Cornwall's complex relationship with its own genius.
3.4 km away
Heartlands
tourismBuilt around the restored Robinson's Shaft of South Crofty — the last working tin mine in Europe, which closed in 1998 — Heartlands is a world-class heritage attraction in the heart of the Cornish mining country. The beautifully landscaped grounds include a sculpture trail, the iconic winding engine house, and regularly changing exhibitions. One of the best free days out in Cornwall.
