I was on my way home from a visit to Cornwall and wanted one last look at the sea. On a road between Boscastle and Bude a sign reads 'Cliffs 1 mile' which is where I took this picture. I stayed for an hour just absorbing and taking in this beautiful vista. I ask myself

A View From Cousin Jack's Garden
© Vince Hawthorn (view gallery)
The Engine House is seen from one of the gardens of the Cornish diaspora. Many Cornish miners left for other corners of the world with the collapse of the tin and copper mining at home in Cornwall, those that left were know as Cousin Jack and if the family went as well the wives would be known as Cousin Jenny. Cornish Miners have a world wide reputation in the field of

Wheal Ellen
© Vince Hawthorn (view gallery)
The road south from Porthtowan to Scorrier passes through the magnificent Tywarnhayle Valley, the scene of much copper mining during the 1800s. The sides of the valley to this day are a rust colour due to the copper waste that was tipped all those days ago. On the valley floor one of the mines there is Wheal Ellen and the engine house there is special in that the stack is castellated, a very rare if not unique feature.

St Just
© Pat Trout (view gallery)
The Botallack Mine (Cornish: Bostalek) is a former mine in Botallack in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is in a former tin mining area situated between the town of St Just in Penwith and the village of Pendeen.[1] Crown Mines, former tin mines, are low down the cliffs north of Botallack. There are two engine houses here and the mine extends for about 400 metres out under the Atlantic ocean; the deepest shaft is 250 fathoms (about 500m) below sea level. The mine ruins in the area are protected by the National Trust.[2] There are two arsenic works opposite the Botallack Mine count house. At the top of the cliffs there are also the remains of one of the mine's arsenic-refining works.[3] The 2015 BBC television series Poldark was filmed partly in Botallack, using Manor Farm as Nampara.[4] The mining developments around Botallack form part of the St Just mining district's successful inclusion in the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage site which was approved in July 2006.

Kynance Cove, near Lizard in Cornwall, is owned by the National Trust and is one of the most beautiful parts of the Cornish coast. After a long walk down the west side of the Lizard from Poldhu to Kynance, which took most of the day, the sun was in the wrong direction for good photos, so we returned early the next morning to get this gorgeous view with deep blue sea.
