Botallack Mine in Cornwall, England
At this historic site in South West England, the big story is below the surface. Botallack Mine, part of England’s ‘Tin Coast,’ was once a submarine mine with tunnels extending deep under the water, where miners harvested tin, arsenic, and copper. Mining discontinued in 1895, but the cliffside is preserved as part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, a World Heritage Site. Look familiar? Botallack was recently used as a filming location for the television series ‘Poldark.’
