Levant Mine and Beam Engine

Levant Mine and Beam Engine

Unique steam-powered Cornish beam engine in action

Part of Cornwall and West Devon Mining World Heritage Site, this is the only Cornish beam engine anywhere in the world that is still in steam on its original mine site.

The famous Levant engine is housed in a small engine house perched on the edge of the cliffs.

Restored after 60 idle years by a group of volunteers known as the 'Greasy Gang', it is a thrilling experience for young and old alike to see this old engine in action, with its evocative sounds and smells.

We've put together a variety of walks around Levant across the coast and countryside. Come and explore the nooks and crannies around the abandoned mine works.
