Botallack Mine

Situated at St.Just, it is really a group of very ancient mines including Wheal Cook (pre 1836) and Carnyorth (pre 1815). Some parts of the mine run far out under the sea. The engine house and headgears perched on the cliff edge were said to be one of the Wonders of the World and their ruins still excite great interest.
