Tin Coast

Home to the iconic Crowns Engine Houses that cling to the cliffs, Botallack shows the incredible engineering feats of Cornish miners.

Drive the original 1840 steam engine still in steam, or take a guided tour around the historic buildings.

Jutting out into the Atlantic ocean, the cape is the perfect place to catch a dramatic sunset or look out to the Brisons rocks.

No overnight camping or parking is allowed at the places we care for. More information on why we don’t permit visitors to stay overnight at our car parks can be found here.

With more people than ever enjoying our coast and countryside places, we’re asking for your help in looking after them during your visit. Please help us protect wildlife and landscapes by following the Countryside Code, which includes taking any litter home with you and not lighting a barbecue or campfire.

Hop on a First Kernow Bus and relax en route to some of Cornwall's most dramatic coastline. We've put together some walks from the bus stops to Cape Cornwall, Levant Mine, Botallack, Trevose Head and Carnewas at Bedruthen to help you on your way.

An easy circular walk along the South West Coast Path from Levant to the Crown Mines of Botallack which are perched precariously on cliffs next to the Atlantic. Carry on through a landscape of Cornish mining remains until you reach the ruined engine house that is Higher Bal.

Learn more about the industrial heritage of this part of Cornwall on a stunning walk across coastal heathland.
