St Agnes

St Agnes is a former mining village on Cornwall’s north coast, its clifftops still dotted with the ruined engine houses of Wheal Coates, one of the most photographed spots in Cornwall. There is a strong surf scene at Trevaunance Cove, a wilder stretch of coast around Chapel Porth and an independent, artistic feel that sets the village apart from the bigger resort towns nearby.
