ST. AGNES

 St. Agnes is a large village, formerly a centre for tin mining, sloping down to a small cove that is much beloved by surfers. Sitting on the north coast of Cornwall, this area was the inspiration for Winston Graham's 'Poldark' novels.  

The cove called Trevaunance Cove, offers a nice little cafe and a beach and surf shop. Relics of engine houses still surround the village, confirming that it was once an important tin mining area. 

We came across a row of sea captains' cottages on a steep hill called 'Stippy-Stappy'.
