The Kenidjack or Nancherrow Valley, situated near Cape Cornwall in northwest Penwith, is about half a mile northeast of St. Just. The valley is shaped by the Tregeseal River, historically used to power tin streams and other operations. Remnants of waterwheels and a reservoir remain visible. A walk from Botallack leads to Wheal Castle atop Kenidjack Castle, an ancient settlement. A track descends to the valley floor, passing the Kenidjack arsenic works and leading to Porthledden Cove. Here, the Wheal Call or Boswedden Mine’s waterwheel remnants stand near the river’s rocky cascade to the sea. Despite its historical significance, the valley is often overlooked by visitors in favor of nearby attractions like Cape Cornwall and Botallack’s Crowns engine houses.
