Levant Mine and Beam Engine, Cornwall

National Trust.
On a cliff-top site sits an old beam engine in its original engine house, still in steam. On the same site are a small museum, a film about the mine, and the top of the shafts. By the car park is a small piece of underground mine tunnel that you can walk through. At varying distances are other relics of mining. The Botallack Count House (NT) is on the clifftops nearby, as are other various engine house ruins and ore processing floors.
This is a great site that in summer overlooks a blue sparkling sea. Indoors you can experience the sound and smells of the old engine in steam-powered motion – the only beam engine in the world still in steam on its original site. Outside, you can explore a landscape littered with mining ruins for as long as you like, or just sit and watch ships go by.
Less than a mile away is the Geevor mine (see separate entry) and the Botallack Count House is a mile or so in the opposite direction.
