Description
West Wheal Owles, also known as Cargodna Mine, stands high on the cliffs between Botallack and Cape Cornwall. Between 1837 and 1893 West Wheal Owles (pronounced ‘Oals’) produced over 8540 tons of black tin and 340 tons of copper.
Now, with the spring flowers and silence except the birds, waves and wind, it is hard to imagine the dirt and noise this areas industrial heritage produced.
It is one of the main locations in Cornwall where Poldark was filmed. West Wheal Owles was transformed into Wheal Leisure and Wheal Grace.
