King Edward Mine Museum specialises in the mining history of Cornwall. It tells the remarkable story of how this mine has survived almost unaltered for over 100 years. Much of the equipment in the mill has been restored to working order.
There are daily demonstrations of the machinery that processed Cornish tin ore in the early 1900s and it will be featured on a new BBC2 series of 'Edwardian Farm'.
King Edward Mine is the oldest complete mine site left in Cornwall and is situated in the World Heritage Area. All the buildings are Grade II* Listed and are of national importance.
