Description
Botallack North Cornwall is wild and romantic, especially beautiful as the sun sets into the Atlantic Ocean behind the ruins of the old mine buildings which cling to the cliffs.
The stunning coastline of north Cornwall is spectacular at any time of the day but sunset is magical. It hard to believe that it wasn't that long ago that St Just was home to what was once the world�s largest concentration of undersea tin and copper mines. Working deep under the Atlantic, at times up to a mile out beneath the waves, 19th century Cornish miners went to extreme lengths to extract the valuable hidden copper and tin deposits.
