What Our Visitors Say About Us

May 2026 One of our many five star reviews on Google

"I had a very informative guided tour by one of the volunteers. They explained the history of the mineral deposits and Cornish mining in detail. Well worth a visit if your in the area, brilliant value and the audio tour works extremely well."


April 2026 Review from a Cornish U3A group

" On behalf of my Rocks & Ruins group, I wanted to thank you [David] and Liam for the excellent tour we had yesterday; you both made the King Edward Mine Museum accessible and really interesting. Thank you both so much for the time you spent with us; it was much appreciated and I had many positive comments."
