    Tips

    June 22, 2019

    The much-photographed mine buildings at Wheal Coates are an iconic sight on the Cornish coast. Clinging to the cliff edge of St Agnes Head, the mysterious buildings afford far-reaching views along the coastline. Earliest records indicate a mine at the site since 1692. The present mine opened in 1802 and was closed in 1889 when the price of tin fell.
