Poldark Mine & Rural Open Air Museum

Poldark Tin Mine - located in the picturesque Wendron Valley, is one of Cornwall's most important heritage sites, and contains what are believed to be the oldest complete mine workings in Great Britain that are open to the public.

Poldark Mine is one of the few mines where you can see the underground workings, as you are taken deep below the hillside through the labyrinth of caverns and tunnels into the only complete underground Cornish tin mine open to the public. Worked from the Medieval period until 1790s the mine workings at Poldark retain much of their original character.
