Abandoned Mine Above Cornwall’s Coast #mininghistory

Exploring Cligga Head, Cornwall, where old mine shafts, mill remains and industrial infrastructure sit high above the Atlantic Ocean. From capped mine shafts to former water tanks and possible tailings settlement areas, this site is packed with clues to Cornwall’s mining past — all overlooking the spectacular dunes and coastline of Perran Sands and Perranporth Beach. A remarkable place where industrial history, geology and coastal landscapes collide. I’ve been the Down-to-Earth Geologist.
