Heartlands is a regeneration project on the old South Crofty mine site and includes a preserved Cornish engine at Robinson's Shaft. The gardens are in sections that relate to parts of the World where Cornish mining technology and miners were exported. It was once said that at the bottom of a hole in the ground anywhere in the world you would find a Cornishman (likewise it was said you would find a Scot at the bottom of a marine engine room ladder - hence Scotty on Star Trek).
