Cornish mining heritage

Cornwall’s rich history is written in its landscape. From the dramatic engine houses clinging to the cliffs on the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site to the old trails once used by tin miners, the county’s past is everywhere to be discovered. Step back in time on the Tin Coast, explore historic mines and museums, or simply wander among the ruins that inspired generations of stories. It’s a fascinating way to understand the spirit of Cornwall and the people who shaped it.
