BOTALLACK Photography Holiday Course
Botallack, a century ago, was one of the centres of mining industry. The iconic Crowns engine houses, perched high above the Atlantic are now protected as part of the Cornwall Mining UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site of Botallack and the cliffs between here and Levant are rich in Industrial Heritage, and prominently featured in Poldark.
The Atlantic coast of Cornwall is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enjoying the same status as National Parks. Rugged towering cliffs, secluded coves and beaches with golden sand, set against spectacular turquoise oceanic waters. The perfect locations for you to make stunning photographs.
