There is a good variety of museums and galleries in the area and the Geevor Tin Mine, is only a short drive away and is the largest preserved mining site in the UK. Geevor was, until 1900, a working tin mine but is now a museum with many surface buildings, it offers guided underground tours through 18th and 19th century workings. Also close at hand is Porthcurno Telegraph Museum, Porthcurno housing a collection from the 1830s onwards of the telegraph company records from England and around the world. The museum is located in World War II tunnels built to guard against enemy bombs and houses an incredible array of working equipment from the war years.

Many of the routes are traffic free and give cyclists and walkers an opportunity to see the wildlife and admire the scenery at a more relaxed pace.
