BOTALLACK & LEVANT MINE

The derelict clifftop Crowns engine house at Botallack, near St Just, provided the perfect location for the Poldark family tin mines of Wheal Leisure, while the nearby buildings at Levant Mine appear as Tressiders Rolling Mill. Stay nearby at Boscrowan Farm’s Ring and Thimble, a dreamy one-bed thatched cottage set on 25 acres, which features an Aga and a roll-top bath.
