About: Botallack is located seven miles north west of Penzance on the B3306.It has often been referred to as the submarine mine, its ruined cliffside engine houses seem to perch remarkably close to the cliff edge and the tunnels extend under the sea. For this reason Botallack was well known even in its day and became almost a tourist attraction for royalty and adventurers. Royalty including Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort in 1846 and the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall in 1865,were among the famous visitors to go down the mine under the sea.
