Levant Mine and Beam Engine
Let the wild beauty of the coastal cliffs at this site capture your imagination as you visit this landmark. The Levant Mine and Beam Engine were where many locals worked, and now you can tread in their footsteps.
Copper and tin were mined here from the 18th century and during the 19th century, the man engine was installed to carry men up and down the mine. In 1919 the engine suffered a failure, killing 31 workers.
