The royal visit to Botallack Mine

Hidden Cornwall

Available for over a year

Botallack Mine and the Engine Houses of Owles and Crowns provided the dramatic coastal setting for mining scenes on the BBC series Poldark. The area near St Just once played host to some very well known visitors who it's thought started off an interest in mining tourism. Photo credit: National Trust/John Miller.
