Morwellham Quay Museums
An award-winning, evocative museum and visitor centre based around the historic port and mine workings on the River Tamar. Here in the heart of the spectacular Tamar Valley, amidst towering cliffs and gently rolling farmland, a lost world lives again.
Costumed staff welcome visitors to the restored port and help to transport you back to the bustling 1860s when heaps of gleaming copper ore filled the quays and a forest of ships' masts lined the river. All human life is here as you explore the busy assay office, marvel at the over-crowded miner's cottages and stroll through the delightful, walled gardens.
There's also an opportunity for you to play your part! Authentic replica costumes are available for you to promenade through the village, while the children find out what life was really like working on the "dressing-floors" of the mine or acting as servants in the "Manager's House".
