Levant Mine and Beam Engine
In its dramatic cliff-top setting on the edge of the Atlantic ocean, Levant was, for 110 years, 'the queen of Cornwall's submarine mines' with undersea levels stretching over a mile out under the sea at a depth of over 600 metres. Today you can see the 1840 steam winding engine, restored by volunteers, in action every day; explore the surface workings with the help of one of our expert guides; walk down the tunnel to the man-engine shaft where the miners began their daily journey to work; try your hand at the work of a bal maiden or bal boy; discover more about about the compelling industry which has been at the heart of Cornish identity for centuries.
