Places to visit and enjoy during your stay with us at our Pendeen Airbnb Sunset Place
Geevor Tin Mine
Geevor Tin Mine, formerly North Levant Mine is a tinmine in the far west of Cornwall, United Kingdom, between the villages of Pendeen and Trewellard. It was operational between 1911 and 1990 during which time it produced about 50,000 tons of black tin. It is now a museum and heritage centre left as a living history of a working tin mine. The museum is an Anchor Point of ERIH, The European Route of Industrial Heritage.[2] Since 2006, the mine has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape.
Botallack Mine
Botallack was a submarine mine with tunnels extending under the sea, in places for half a mile. Over its recorded lifetime the mine produced around 14,500 tonnes of tin, 20,000 tonnes of copper, and 1,500 tonnes of arsenic. An estimated 1.5 million tonnes of waste would have been dug up with the minerals. It is unclear how far back mining activity goes in this location. Early records date from the 1500s. Some archaeological evidence points to mining here in the Roman era or even as far back as the Bronze Age.
Pendeen Lighthouse
Pendeen Lighthouse, also known as Pendeen Watch is an active aid to navigation located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the north of Pendeen in west Cornwall, England. It is located within the Aire Point to Carrick Du SSSI, the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Penwith Heritage Coast. The South West Coast Path passes to the south.
Sennon Cove
Sennen Beach is just around the corner from Land’s End, the most westerly point on British mainland. While the village is in the shadow of the mighty Pedn-men-du headland, the large crescent of sandy beach faces the full force of the Atlantic Ocean, making it a popular surfing destination. During the summer, when swimming is generally safe, a well-equipped lifeguard service is available.
The Minack Theatre
The iconic Minack Theatre is a one-of-a-kind open-air venue perched on the edge of a cliff. Rowena Cade designed and built the structures you see here over the course of a lifetime. The Minack is a working theatre as well as a tourist attraction. Visits are welcome. However, visiting hours vary, so always double-check ahead of time. To avoid disappointment, all visits and events should be booked in advance.
