Visit King Edward Mine to Discover Cornish Mining

The museum is now closed for winter maintenance and we are not open to the public until Easter 2026. 
We would like to thank all those who have visited in 2025 and made our year so successful. We would also like to thank all our loyal volunteers, many of whom are providing guided tours, but also those who steward our 22 acres of mining landscape and keep our historic equipment in working order.
Our popular school visits will continue as normal through our closed season where children learn about the importance of geoscience to the world.  Please see our Education page for further details.

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!"
