Dating back to the 18th century, this natural amphitheatre is believed to have been formed due to subsistence during that era. However, it is not its geological origins that make this place truly remarkable. Gwennap Pit holds immense historical and cultural significance as it was here that Reverend John Wesley first preached in 1762. The reverberating echoes of his powerful sermons attracted crowds of up to an astonishing 32,000 people on occasion. This sacred site became a regular pulpit for Wesley until he reached his remarkable 85th year. From an elevated view captured by photographer C. M.
