What it's like to work here

Chapel Porth

A wild but cosy beach, rich in heritage and legend.

A vast low tide beach and a sea of glowing heather make it hard to believe this area was once an industrial landscape. The enigmatic buildings perched on the cliffs provide a reminder of St Agnes’ tin and copper mining past.

Godrevy

A vast sandy beach, high cliffs and dramatic coves.

Godrevy's awe-inspiring expanse of sandy beach leads on to wildlife rich headlands and the dramatic coves of the North Cliffs and Western Hill.
