Wheal Coates – St. Agnes
At low tide it is possible to access part of the mine through a large cave alog the beach near Chapel Porth. Originally the mine workings went right down to the sea and it is possible to hear the waves crashing against the rocks through a grate covering the shaft. Towanroath vugga (cave) is partly a natural sea cave and also a honeycomb of old excavation and at the back of the sea cave is a mine drainage adit. Chambers English Dictionary defines a vug as “a Cornish miners name for a cavity in a rock”
