Attractions
Geevor Tin Mine
historicThe 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.
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.
