Poldark Filming Sites
St Breward: The cottage used as Nampara, Poldark’s home as well as some of the miner’s cottages were located near this village. The actors also filmed some of the other scenes, including a duel, when the sun appeared en cue with dramatic timing. Botallack to Levant: There is beauty and rich mining heritage along this stretch of west Cornwall coast linking Botallack (just north of St Just) and Levant. Levant Mine playing was the setting for Tressiders Rolling Mill while Owles and Crowns near Botallack depicted Wheal Leisure. Porthgwarra: This cove with its crystal clear waters was where the little beach cafe stayed open until 4am serving pasties to the cast and crew. Gunwalloe: the beach at Church Cove here was where the shipwreck scenes were filmed, appropriately as it is next to Dollar Cove, site of many famous shipwrecks and named for the silver coins which are still said to wash up on the beach. Charlestown: This historic port, a berth for tallships is also seen in the TV series and in many other films including the Three Musketeers and The Eagle Has Landed. Porthcothan: The crew filmed around the Padstow area, and many will recognise views over the Camel Estuary. Porthcothan is used to portray Nampara Cove. |
