A guided walk by Cornish Bard, David Oates
on Saturday 31st May 2008.
Taste the history of some of the mines of the St Just area, including
the famous Botallack Mine featured by R.M. Ballantyne in his book “Deep
Down” and the great Levant Mine, scene of a disaster in 1919.
Meet at the National Trust car park at Botallack Counthouse at 6.30 p.m.
Take the B3306, either from St Just or from Pendeen, and Botallack is
signposted on the left from St Just and on the right from Pendeen. Most of the walk is relatively easy, flat walking except for
the last few hundred metres which is up a steepish slope. After the walk we hope
to retire to a nearby hostelry for a bite to eat (optional, not included in
price).
