Description
Part of the heritage of my native Cornwall this is the old works of Wheal Coates near to St Agnes.
It is still possible to follow the mining trail beginning at this famous Wheal Coates tin mine on the cliffs near Chapel Porth and continuing along the coastal path to the old workings at Polberro and Wheal Kitty. The trail ends at Blue Hills at Trevellas, the last remaining tin production centre in Cornwall.
The mine Wheal Coates goes right down to the sea and at high tide the waves can be heard crashing against the rocks through a grate on the floor of the ruin. Legend has it that the strange noises that come up, are the ghosts of the miners who died there.
This was the scene of some difficulty for myself on my last image of this place from further back, when attempting to climb down the caves to get to the beach, getting down was not so hard at climbing back up with all my gear..

Great POV and the sense of perspective I get when viewing this shot - is it a wide angle lens or is that just because of the POV? Not sure what it is but it's amazing. xx
