John Wesley preaching from a rock above Gwenap Pit, an amphitheatre created by early mining. Wesley first used the location in 1762 as a shelter from high winds and returned on several occasions until 1789, with an audience of 32,000 claimed in 1773 (although it is estimated only 2,000 could be seated comfortably).
