Places of Interest

The mining history of Cornwall is the focal point for this county’s infamy. At the peak of its tin mining and trading, there were around 2000 functioning mines. A number of these are still to be seen today. Other places of interest include museums, listed buildings, caves and coves and also, Cornwall’s city Cathedral in Truro.
