Botallack – St. Just Area

Botallack has been referred to as the submarine mine, its ruined Cliffside engine houses perch remarkably close to the cliff edge and the tunnels extend under the sea.
For this reason Botallack was well known and became almost a tourist attraction for royalty and adventurers. Royalty including Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort in 1846 and the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall in 1865,were among the famous visitors to go down the mine under the sea. Wilkie Collins the novelist wrote a terrifying account of his descent down into the mine in 1850. He reported that he could hear the roar of the surf above his head
