Kenidjack Valley or Nancherrow Valley, Cornwall
- Located in St. Just, Cornwall, South West England, England
- Kenidjack Valley, also known as Nancherrow Valley, cuts deep towards the Atlantic coast at Porthledden Cove and Cape Cornwall on The Land's End Peninsula (The Penwith Peninsula). Apart from its natural beauty, the most obvious feature of the valley is its mining heritage. Engine houses, chimneys and the walls and foundations of old buildings litter what was once the site of a thriving tin mining industry. Kenidjack was part of the St Just Mining District which, in turn, is one of the areas that forms today's Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. To get a sense of what the area might have been like in its pomp in the nineteenth century, visit Botallack Mine Count House Heritage Centre where you can see an artist's reconstruction of the wider area in colour drawings. The red rivers, a result of iron oxide, are particularly striking
