Blow Hole at Wheal Coates, Chapel Porth, Cornwall - Veho Kuzo 2 1080p
Chapel Porth (near St Agnes) North Coast of Cornwall, England. Just below the famous Wheal Coates mine (and a little to the East) is this powerful Blow Hole. At High tide, the caves below the water line are covered by the sea and so the swell creates pressure (and vacuum) in the sealed up caves. If there's any crack, fissure or hole in the cave, the pressure escapes at enormous velocity - well over 100mph! Its awesome raw power is incredible to stand near.
Exact location on google maps:

St Agnes is a civil parish and a large village on the north coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom. The village of St Agnes is about five miles north of Redruth and ten miles southwest of Newquay. An electoral ward exists stretching as far south as Blackwater.
The village of St Agnes, a popular coastal tourist spot, lies on a main road between Redruth and Perranporth. It was a prehistoric and modern centre for mining of copper, tin and arsenic until the 1920s. Local industry has also included farming and fishing, and more recently tourism.
The St Agnes district has a heritage of industrial archaeology and much of the landscape is of considerable geological interest. There are also stone-age remains in the parish. The manor of Tywarnhaile was one of the 17 Antiqua maneria of the Duchy of Cornwall.
To the northwest foot of the St Agnes Beacon is Cameron Quarry and St Agnes Beacon Pits, Sites of Special Scientific Interest noted for their geological interest. Trevaunance Cove is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Geological Conservation Review site of national importance for the ?... the two principal ore-bearing mineral veins associated with the Hercynian St. Agnes-Cligga granite?.
The Church of St Agnes is believed to have been built as a chapel of ease about 1482, on the foundation of what is possibly an ancient Celtic church (410 to 1066 AD). The records of the Diocese of Exeter refer to a chapel of St Agnes in the parish of Perranzabuloe in 1374.
The St Agnes Parish Museum provides information about the history of the St Agnes area. Historically, St Agnes and the surrounding area relied on fishing, farming and mining for copper and tin. Since the 17th century there have been many attempts to create a harbour for St Agnes. Between 1632 and 1709 the Tonkins, lords of the manor of Trevaunance, expended the family legacy as they tried to build a harbour.
St Agnes is a popular tourist destination. The coastal area is maintained by the National Trust and is designated part of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Beaches in the St Agnes Parish include Trevaunance Cove, near the village of St Agnes. It's a small sandy beach with lifeguards and adequate parking. Porthtowan village also has a sandy beach. Trevellas Porth is popular with divers and fishermen, but because it is quite rocky it is not recommended for swimming. Chapel Porth is another area beach.

St Agnes Cornwall
A walk in Cornwall- Up The Beacon, St Agnes - down to Chapel Porth cove - along the coastal path to Wheal Coates and the Towanroath Pumping Engine House and return to start.
Wheal Coates is a former tin mine situated on the north coast of Cornwall, England, on the cliff tops between Porthtowan and St Agnes. It is preserved and maintained by the National Trust.
The site was worked for centuries but the surviving buildings date from the 1870s when deep underground mining began at the site and were stabilised and preserved in 1986.
There are three engine houses that formerly housed Cornish engines. Towanroath Pumping Engine House (1872) was used to pump water from the adjacent 600 ft Towanroath shaft. Whim Engine House was added in 1880 to crush ore for processing. A calciner dating from 1910--1913 roasted the tin to remove impurities such as arsenic.
In 1881 138 people were employed at the site to mine a seam of tin just below sea level but this and a subsequent period of operation from 1911-1913 were not very successful because tin production was sporadic.
