Levant Mine and Beam Engine的点评
点评：We visited the National Trust Levant Tin Mine, it's an historic, clifftop mining complex located on the rugged "Tin Coast" of West Cornwall, near Pendeen and St Just. Established in 1820 and operating until 1930, it is famous for its extensive undersea tunnels that stretched over a mile out under the Atlantic Ocean bed.
We booked our tour online before our visit via the National Trust website - free to National Trust members. To access the internal mine buildings and see the beam engine in steam, you must pre-book a tour. The surrounding clifftop ruins and coast paths are free and open to explore year-round.
On the tour our guide took us down the The Man Engine Tunnel to explore the infamous "man engine" - a mechanism of moving wooden rods used to carry miners up and down the 600-metre deep shafts.
Our guide told us about the tragic mining disaster in October 1919, when a major mechanical failure of the man engine caused a collapse, taking the lives of 31 miners.
We were fortunate to have a guide who was a miner in the last working Cornish Tin Mine. He spoke from experience, recounting stories of real-life mining, bringing mining to life.
We were able to see the restored 1840s beam engine running on steam, it’s the world's oldest surviving Cornish beam winding engine still working on steam in its original engine house. An absolute marvel!
Levant has no on-site café or shops, and public toilets are restricted exclusively to visitors on pre-booked tours.

翻译：我们参观了由国家信托基金会管理的莱万特锡矿。这是一处历史悠久的采矿业遗迹，坐落于康沃尔西部崎岖不平的“锡矿海岸”上，靠近彭迪恩和圣贾斯特。该矿场创建于1820年，一直运营至1930年，以修建了大量海底隧道而著称——这些隧道延伸到大西洋海底，总长度超过一英里。
我们在访问前通过国家信托基金会的网站预订了参观行程；对于信托基金会会员而言，参观是免费的。若要进入矿井内部的建筑并亲眼目睹蒸汽驱动的横梁发动机，必须事先预约参观。而周围的悬崖遗迹及沿海步道则全年免费向游客开放。
在参观过程中，导游带领我们沿着“人力引擎隧道”去探索那个声名狼藉的“人力引擎”——这是一种由木制连杆构成的机械装置，用于将矿工们送上600米深的矿井深处。
导游还向我们讲述了1919年10月发生的一起惨痛的矿难。当时，由于主动力机发生严重故障，导致矿井坍塌，致使31名矿工丧生。
幸运的是，我们有一位向导，他曾是康沃尔地区最后一家锡矿的矿工。他以自己的亲身经历讲述了采矿过程中的种种故事，让那段历史变得鲜活生动。
我们还得以亲眼目睹那台修复完毕的19世纪40年代制造的蒸汽动力曲柄式提升机。它是世界上现存最古老的仍在原址、以蒸汽驱动的康沃尔式曲柄提升机。真是令人惊叹的奇迹啊！Levant园内没有咖啡馆或商店，公共厕所也仅对预先预约了游览的游客开放。
