Cornwall’s mining heritage isn’t just part of our landscape — it’s part of the pasty story too.
The Cornish pasty is famously linked to miners, who needed something hearty, portable and filling to take with them for a long day’s work. So when you spot those engine houses dotted across the Cornish coast and countryside, you’re looking at the same history that helped shape one of Cornwall’s best-loved bakes.
And yes, we fully believe a mining trail walk is improved by a flaky steak pasty. That’s not official history, just common sense!
