Wheal Coates, St Agnes

Outstanding location with wonderful views out to sea and across the bay. The site is in two parts, with a couple of engine houses a short walk from the National Trust car park, and another, the Towanroath engine house a walk down a path to its wild and windswept location nearer to the sea. Fascinating for history lovers.

Amazing mine in a stunning location. Some super photos to be taken here. We walked along the cliff path which had some amazing views - recommended place to visit.

Stunning view with the backdrop of the Cornish coastline. Checked off my bucket list of places to see and it was worth the wait. It was so foggy when we set off from St. Agnes head that we only saw the engine house when we were about 30 feet from it but by the time we came back the sun had come out especially for me to see the view. Breathtaking and nice that you can just wander around it all and explore with nothing cordoned off.

Beautiful old engine house that really brings home the wonder of Cornish history. Fascinating to look at, with spectacular views of Chapel Porth beach and the sea. Breathtaking.

Outstanding natural beauty doesn't do this justice.. such a fantastic location, such history and with the sea as a backdrop, it's just awesome. The car-park is about 200 meters from the Engine houses, and the path is suitable for wheelchair/mobility scooter. Once you get to the Engine House though the path down to Wheal Coates is somewhat steep and not suitable for wheelchairs etc.. but you can see it from the top.. It's well worth seeing.
