We visited some amazing places today, and they all embody what makes Cornwall (Kernow) special. Here are two of those places with two views of each. Botallack with its mines, and Cape Cornwall with its amazing vista looking inland and the vista looking to the ocean over the RNLI viewing post, which is manned at all times to protect sailors on the Atlantic Ocean. I love being by the sea, it makes you feel both calm and humbled at the same time. Oh, and you might catch a glimpse of a small white fluff ball in one of the images, he gets everywhere that dog 🐾#botallack #capecornwall #cornwall #kernow #atlanticocean #rnli (at Botallack Mine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV0_r6XML71/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cape Cornwall 

Cape Cornwall is mostly headland owned by the national trust. It is also the only Cape in England. It’s a bit of a steep incline to reach the top, with uneven surfaces so I recommend wearing sensible shoes. Once you’ve hiked to the top, you’ll see some stunning views (if the mizzle stays away). You can see the Brisons from here (two rocks which mark the starting line of the annual swimming race ending at Priest’s cove).Between 1838 and 1883 the Cape Cornwall tin mine was intermittently operational, since its closure the engine house has been destroyed. The tin mine’s chimney, dating back to 1864, remains and serves as a landmark today. -RoxyB

Yeah to be honest I wouldn’t recommend climbing this bad boy in the skinniest pair of black jeans you own... but hey, lessons learnt the hard way. Worth the view, definitely keep hold of your hat because you get blown about and not in a good way - TommyC 

Side note: There are public toilets available in the car park. More importantly in the summer months there is a refreshment van selling tea, coffee and delicious home made cake. 

Cost: Free. If you drive in there is a national trust run pay and display car park (free if you’re a national trust member). 

Opening hours: Any reasonable time during day light hours.

Today was the penultimate day of our #england trip. First off we went to #capecornwall for great views of #landsend We then went to #botallack mine on the @tincoastnt here we saw the famous engine houses and examined the rocks. Then we went to the wonderfully presented @geevor_museum which is a #tinmine that only closed in 1990 and is part of the @cornishmining #worldheritage site. Here we went on a underground tour, visited the hard rock museum and had the opportunity to chat to former miners. Our final stop of the day was the incredible #millookhaven where we examined its famous #chevronfolds in #carboniferous sediments. (at Millook Haven Beach)
