Created by combining 2 former miners cottages, adjacent to the once famous Ding Dong Mines, now a World Industrial Heritage Site, Bal Cottage provides a unique base from which to explore the many places of interest and entertainment on the Land's End peninsular and nearby.
Signs of the area's industrial past are long gone except for the striking ruined engine houses once used to power the mines, which dug for Copper, Tin and Lead.
The location is 700' above sea level, almost the highest point on the Land's End, and overlooks acres of moorland on three sides, with the whole of Mount's Bay to the South, including the picturesque St Michael's Mount, distant Lizard Peninsula and a horizon some 30 miles away.
Bal Cottage now forms part of an original row of 4 cottages on Bal Row, (Bal is Cornish for Mine). The owners live next door and are always available for advice or assistance if requested. The cottages are approached by a short track from the nearest lane and are therefore free from passing traffic or other disturbances.
It is possible to walk for many miles straight out of the door or make an easy car journey to St Ives, 9 miles, Penzance, 4 miles, Land's End, 15 miles, Porthcurno, 15 miles and Marazion/St Michael's Mount, 8 miles.
Located in Penzance, this cottage is in a rural area. Wharfside Shopping Centre and Trevaskis Farm are worth checking out if shopping is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Marazion Marsh. Consider Acorn Theatre for a night out or St Ives Museum if you're traveling with kids.
