We are now open for the summer until October 2026 (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday).  See Opening Times for details.
The road between Troon and King Edward Mine is closed because of a mining subsidence.   The closure is at the junction of Newton Road and Newton Moor and this will affect access to King Edward Mine until November 2026.  Please check your route using Google Maps to find an alternative route. The detour through Bolenowe village is rural and narrow. From the south, approach through Reduth or Four Lanes.   From the west approach via Beacon or Camborne.

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."
