Comment
Poldark Mine at Wendron is centrally located near Helston on the Lizard Peninsula. The mine is set in four acres of wooded riverside gardens in a beautiful glen on the River Cober valley. The demesne is set in a rural area of Cornwall just 6 miles from the sea. The well-known mine has reopened under new management and as part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site has a special place in the story of tin mining. Some consider it to be the veritable cradle of tinning.http://www.poldarkmine.org.uk/index.php
