Discover Cornwall’s mining past
UNESCO World Heritage
The museum and shop are now closed for the winter.
However, our volunteers continue to work throughout the whole year, and you are welcome to join us. There are indoor and outdoor jobs to
be done in our 22 acre site.
Our local community at King Edward Mine supports us in our stewardship of their unique place in the World Heritage Mining landscape.
