In this video I tick off another "Cornwall bucket list" item... I finally go visit some famous Cornish mines in Botallack Cornwall! They happen to be not only beautiful and historic but also a filming location for one of my favourite British period dramas - POLDARK!

Come along with me to visit the cliffs where Ross and Demelza stood, and see ruins of the Botallack mines where thousands of people worked in the 18th and 19th centuries - mining tin, copper, and arsenic!

To see my other bucket list location of the day, check out this video of our visit to MINACK THEATRE: youtu.be/2B9hTI0xL1I
