St Ives Coastal Road
Zennor, England TR20 8YX

Carn Galver Mine, located along the scenic St Ives to St Just coastal road, is a historical site that showcases the remnants of Cornish tin mining operations. Known for its two engine houses, built in 1871, the mine experienced a brief period of activity before closing in 1876, having produced only 150 tons of tin.

Managed by the National Trust, the site features the remains of a tin processing plant, various wheel pits, and stunning views of the Cornish coastline. Visitors can explore the area and appreciate the historical significance of this picturesque location that reflects the challenges faced by miners in the region.
