What visitors say
Very cute, free! and well done small museum which is part of the jewelry shop. It is well worth a visit, especially for children because the presentation of the different techniques and the life of the mines and especially the children working at the tin mill is very well done. There’s no pressure to buy anything and the car park is free

What a great place to learn about tin mills. Very interesting place and the jewellery is superb! We ate in the cafe which was tasty and well priced. Dogs are welcome too which is nice and there is a huge car park. A play area for the children as well as a pottery painting class and a teddy bear workshop should keep the little ones entertained. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip here.

We arrived at 10 and had an amazing breakfast, they had lots to offer for food also Considering it's free entry, it offers an amazing experience. We did a gold panning experience which was 2 pound each and a diamond hunt at 5 pound. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed this and they got to take home some pyrite they panned and a cubic zirconia as they didn't find the diamond. The museum was great and our kids loved this, very educational and so relaxed. They have a lot to offer and it is so relaxed. Only issue was the jewellery, my mum wanted to buy some and staff were scarce so waited a while to be seen. Well worth coming to.

We went for their pick a pearl offer. Excellent. It’s our Pearl wedding anniversary so fits, the location and site is great. We had a good look round and found it really interesting. Amber was lovely. She helped us out with the pearl picking and sizing. We came away with a beautiful necklace. On a side note, the coffee was excellent. Really great, we’re happy with it start to finish, highly recommend.
