Blue Hills Tin Streams These traditional workings are situated in Trevellas Valley. The process by which tin is extracted is demonstrated and ore is gathered along the beautiful North Cornish Coastline and has been minded by the sea and made clean by the pounding of the waves along the shore. This type of alluvial tin mining is ancient and being a renewable source has continued for thousands of years.
