Is it worth visiting Levant Mine, Botallack, Cornwall? 

''Cornwall forever my home''....and YOUR home which you obviously both love so much and share with all of us each week. Levant was shut when I visited sadly, but this tour has now shown me what it's like. Thank you. J x

Another place to add when I visit Cornwall Thanks for showing all these interesting places

Really liked how you put the song in there towards the end. Very fitting, and adding your own type of dedication to the lives lost. It was pretty cool seeing that engine working. Great video.

Thanks for this. Both sides of my family worked in Levant and Geevor for generations.

Beautiful old engine, im so glad they kept it, so many of them were broken up and sold as scrap iron

We visited Levant last summer, unfortunately the engine wasn't working that day so it's good to see it👍 the volunteer guy in your video was there the day we went and told us so much, it was very interesting to hear all the history, he's great👌🏻thanks again guys😁xx

A trip around this Mine is well worth the cost of joining the National Trust alone. Another fantastic trip into Cornwall, i look forward to the next one.

Yet another brilliant video guys. Nick on the bridge.

A great couple who make great videos.

What a fascinating place! My grandfather was a miner up in County Durham so I know how tough and dangerous it was below ground. It’s very poignant reading the descriptions of deaths and accidents particularly on the scale of Levant. I will try to pay a visit later this centenary year of the tragedy.

I find myself almost in tears....what a super video, very moving and history well explained. The choir at the end sums it all up so well. Sad but lovely all at the same time. It is such a huge part of the Cornish Heritage. A very well done an excellent video.

what an amazing tour of this mine the Cornish beam engine was most interesting too *🔍full viewing🔎🎭 supported🎭✅ hit the like for you👍🇦🇺👍😉 😊*

Very interesting video. Thank you

The Levant and Geevor Mine are two of my favourite spots in Cornwall. I have visited them several times, but your tour of the Levant Mine brought out new fascinating facts. I did know about the in 1919 tragedy that led to so many men losing their lives, but when the Boscastle Buoys sang 'Cornwall forever my home...' I'm afraid the floods of tears flowed. A Cornish male voice choir, singing in close harmony, does it every time!

Great video, very interesting mine, love the shafts, and that awesome coast line wow ..1919 !!

You two always seem to have such fun! We treasure your journey! ;-)

Tragic place with a lot of history. We love learning from docents on tours. Neat that the engine is still working. Thanks for bringing us along!

Fab vid - been mad busy with lately - glad to report back to normal this Friday morning - Coffee, Scotch Pancakes And catch-up with you guys 👍 really enjoyed this one very interesting. ATB Mark.

Beautiful breezy weather enjoy ur selves.👍

What an interesting and informative tour..... such a tragic event. Brings home the dangers faced every day by the mining community. Bernie loved seeing the engine in action.....anything with gauges and moving bits and he's there!! Thanks for taking us with you! 👍❤😊

What a place...I got scared about these walls and views..... Thank you for sharing. 💟

Great video and tour. I've read about the Levant Mine tragedy, and I thought I could picture it, it there is nothing quite like seeing it in a video. What an engine! And those lovely voices singing! Now to get there to see it with my own eyes! Thank you!

Another interesting place to visit. We did go to this one, I think, many years ago now but I think that they have been made more interesting not. The NT do a wonderful job as do both of you by showing your visits there. Have a great weekend. Julie..

Hello Sarah and Andrew , Thank you so much for this video , always heartbreaking to hear of these sorts of tragic accidents. I am all to familiar with the risks associated with this industry, as I have mentioned before ,my husband has been in the mining industry for about 16 years and my daughter’s fiancé has been a miner for about 5 years . I hope all is well your way ! We are currently in Alabama where it has been close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit for about 3 days now, a little to hot for my taste lol but my husband loves it !! He actually took a position in a newly acquired mine and he is in the process of transitioning everyone over to a “ new way” of how things have to be done ,so we flew down to visit ,he wants to stay permanently so we may be relocating!! My fur girls would have to get used to this heat lol ,hope the fur boys are well ,Sending my happiness your way,Lori

Hi both, lovely video and tour of Levant Mine...we were there last year, such an interesting place! Thanks for sharing, regards, Simon and Elaine👍👍👍

That was so interesting. Well done. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍

Rather bittersweet with the death of the miners, but the song about the love for their Cornwall. My family has a history of coal mining in the south in the u s.

Thank you for showing us this. Though it was a great tragedy, it is very interesting to know the details about the mine. I hope we get time for a guided tour there when we stay in Pendeen in July :-)

Hi Sarah and Andrew, very interesting video. Do you know if they are planning any kind of event to mark the 100th anniversary of the disaster? Such a beautiful place, but what a dangerous job. There was an earlier disaster at nearby Wheal Owles too.

OK, gonna get my wife pink shoe laces :)

Levant isn't at Botallack, it's at Trewellard.

My great grandfather lost part of his hand and had his mouth smashed in that left him with a cleft palette in the Levant mine disaster.

Oh my sun would have a fit over that steam engine! I know nothing about mining. Exactly what kind of minerals were they mining for?
