Cornwall & West Devon Mining Landscape, Cornwall, West Devon
World Heritage Status places Cornwall and West Devon’s historic mining landscapes on a par with such international treasures as Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China.
Cornish Mining represents one of the longest histories of industrial heritage conservation in the world and is unique in being the first of its kind concerned with the mining and ore processing of tin and arsenic, together with copper and other industrial metals. Through these advances the industry contributed substantially to the industrial revolution in the rest of Britain.
In its tiny engine house perched on the cliff edge, the famous Levant beam engine is steaming again after sixty idle years. The sight, sounds and smells of this 165-year-old engine conjure up the feel of Cornwall’s industrial past.
