Description
The iconic Crown Engine Houses clinging to the rocks at Botallack in the evening light.
Cornwall's ruined tin mines have been named among the world's 27 'must see places before you die'.
The ruins of the structures which once housed them cling dramatically to the rugged rocks and wild seas of Cornwall's north coast
Around 3,000 engine houses were built in the 18th and 19th centuries but the last closed in the 1930s and the remains were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006.
