About Lower Trewellard

Lower Trewellard is a small, coastal suburban area on Cornwall's north coast road, tucked between St Just and St Ives. It lies along the B3306, the scenic link from St Ives to the A30, and sits equal distances - seven miles - from both Land's End and Penzance. Part of the civil parish of St Just and the electoral division of St Just in Penwith, Lower Trewellard offers a compact base for exploring this rugged corner of the South West. With a TR19 postcode and a county address of Cornwall, it makes an easily identified stop on any peninsula itinerary. The B3306 road that threads through the settlement is known locally for its coastal vistas, making a drive through Lower Trewellard a quietly memorable experience. Whether you're passing between St Ives and St Just or aiming to reach the far western tip at Land's End, this little community marks a peaceful, characterful waypoint in the landscape of Penwith.

Attractions

The largest preserved tin mining site in the UK, Geevor closed in 1990 and has since become one of Cornwall's most compelling heritage experiences. Underground tours lead into the working levels beneath the cliffs, while surface buildings house extensive collections of mining equipment. The story of the men who worked here — many for generations — is told with honesty and humanity.

Clinging 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.
