Levant Mine and Beam Engine, Cornwall
- Located in Pendeen, Cornwall, South West England, England
- Levant Mine and Beam Engine, Trewellard, Pendeen, nr St Just, Cornwall, TR19 7SX
- The St Just Mining District is one of ten areas that form the UNESCO Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. Levant Mine and Beam Engine is a National Trust property within the St Just Mining District. It's also one of a number of amazing mining heritage sites on the west coast of The Land's End Peninsula (The Penwith Peninsula). We can't recommend highly enough a walk along the South West Coast Path between Pendeen Watch and Cape Cornwall. On your way, explore the various mining sites along the coastline. Visit Levant Mine and Beam Engine. The location is stunning. Perched on top of cliffs with views north to Pendeen Watch, it's worth visiting the mine for its natural beauty alone
- The St Just Mining District is famous for its undersea or submarine mines. According to the National Trust site, 'the mine workings of Levant extend over a mile out under the sea bed'. Levant was mined for copper and tin. Arsenic was mined as a by-product of tin ore. The Levant Mine and Beam Engine is also 'the only Cornish beam engine anywhere in the world that is still in steam on its original mine site'.

- We've positioned Levant Mine and Beam Engine on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location. You'll see a large car parking area on that satellite imagery
- Along the coastline also visit Botallack Mine, Botallack Mine The Crowns Engine Houses, Kenidjack Valley or Nancherrow Valley and Geevor Tin Mine. Inland, explore Ding Dong Mine
- If you're staying on The Land's End Peninsula (The Penwith Peninsula) for a period of time, we'd recommend taking a day trip to Poldark Mine
