View of St Michael's Mount

Highlight • Castle

From here is a great view of St Michael's Mount, a tidal island that is home to a castle and a church. Access to the island is possible by foot across a causeway at low to mid tide.

Looked after by the National Trust, you can visit St Michael's Mount, which is still home to a community of people, cut off from the mainland at every high tide. See their website for further details: nationaltrust.org.uk/st-michaels-mount

The site is historically linked to Mont St Michael in Normandy, which is a very similar tidal island.

Mousehole Village and Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

The fishing village of Mousehole has narrow, bustling streets filled with small shops, galleries, restaurants, and cottages built from finely grained Lamorna granite. Dylan Thomas described the village as the loveliest in England — but many Cornish people would dispute that this part of the world can even be classed as England! The village has a thriving art scene as artists come to work amid the picturesque landscape.

Penzance Harbour

Highlight • Structure

A popular coastal town, Penzance is the most westerly town in Cornwall. The town has plenty to see and do: eating fish and chips by the harbour, visiting Branwell House which was once home to the Bronte sisters, or wandering in Morrab Gardens.

South Tincroft Mine Ruins

Highlight • Monument

Now a ruin, South Tincroft was originally a copper mine but later moved over to tin.

Although this is only a section of the mine, much of it having been demolished and built over, it offers a fascinating insight into the Cornish mining industry.

Poldice Valley Mining Ruins

Highlight • Viewpoint

Poldice Valley is a beautiful spot with a rich mining history. A mine has existed in the valley as far back as the 16th century, extracting tin ore and copper from the area. The Portreath Tramroad was opened in 1812 to transport the materials to Portreath harbour. The mines slowly declined towards the end of the 19th century and ceased operating in 1930. Today, you can still see many ruined mine buildings and mineshafts in the valley.
