Penwith: Botallack, the Minack and Land's End
400 XP
The far west of Cornwall is granite and old mines. At Botallack the Crowns engine houses stand on the cliffs, part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, and the South West Coast Path, 630 miles long, runs south from there to Land's End, the westernmost point of mainland England. Round the coast at Porthcurno, Rowena Cade began building the Minack Theatre into the cliff in 1931.
