What is the Tin Coast?
A seven mile stretch of coast with a rich mining history. We are partnering with other local organisations to share the stories of this fascinating World Heritage Site.

We have two new trampers available to hire on the Tin Coast, from Botallack and Levant.
The remains of the mine buildings at this site give a fascinating look into the past.

Exceptionally beautiful beach on a turquoise bay backed by granite cliffs.
The south coast of Penwith vividly expresses the changes in man’s use of the land over time. From towering cliffs keeping watch over the western approaches, to gentle, lush valley slopes, and sun kissed beaches – all is here.
There are some narrow and informal paths, some of which are next to steep and unguarded drops. Please take care and keep children and dogs under close supervision.
As this was a mine, there are mineshafts in places. Please be aware of this and keep to the footpaths.
Be aware of grazing animals on site.
Tramper available to hire. Please call 01736 786934 for more information or to book.

Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
