    Running

    Some of the most spectacular mining ruins along the Tin Coast. Look out for the two engine houses precariously built into the cliffs nearly at sea level.

    Botallack Mine was operational until 1895, when it closed due to falling copper and tin prices. It is unclear when the mining activity at this location began. Some records suggest that it was as early as the Bronze Age.
