What Our Visitors Say About Us

July 2025 One of our many five star reviews on Google
 
"Really fascinating! Such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide (they are all volunteers) Mining has been such a big part of Cornwall's history for thousands of years, we felt we understood so much more about the area after our visit. Wonderful to see the old machinery, much of it in working order and running. And a jolly good cafe!"
