About St.Agnes, North Cornwall
St. Agnes is a picturesque village on the north coast of Cornwall.
St Agnes has an extremely rich mining history due to the high quality tin found in the area. The mining trail begins at the famous Wheal Coates tin mine on the cliffs near Chapel Porth, continuing along the Coast Path to the old workings at Polberro and Wheal Kitty and finishing at Blue Hills at Trevellas, the last remaining tin production centre in the UK....
There is a shingle beach at Trevaunance Cove, just below the village.
At low tide, a sandy beach is revealed, lifeguards are in attendance during the season.
The 17th century Driftwood Spars Hotel overlooks Trevaunance cove, the "Drifty" was originally a fish cellar and many of the original timbers in the bar came from shipwrecks in the area.
There's quite a thriving surf scene in St Agnes with several surf shops and the standard of surfing is possibly some of the highest in the country.
I've created this group as i'm amazed there wasn't one already!!!
Please feel free to add your pics of "Aggie" and the surronding areas...
