Morwellham Quay

What a lovely unspoilt and quaint place - fantastic staff and lots to see and do! We intended to only spend a few hours but stayed the whole day. Visiting on a quiet may weekday, we took part in all the interactive displays (rock breaking, chocolate workshop and schoolhouse) before our mine train tour. All of our above ground activities were hosted by Kathy (in period costume) who was entertaining, engaging and friendly - special thanks for making our little girl feel involved with all the tasks and for having a bit of schoolroom banter that resulted in my donning the dunces hat. The mine train experience though not the longest, is very well presented, informative and quite different from anything else we've experienced at other heritage sites and was explained as we progressed through the mine by train driver George - definitely worth prebooking to ensure you reserve your ride. After a picnic lunch and exploring the rest of the quay and seeing Ruth's cottage, running out of time we headed to the miners soft play area which is large, impressively clean and with a cafe onsite we could've spent much longer here too.

We had a lovely day here over the Easter break - the staff were fantastic, and the kids loved the Victorian school lesson so much they went back for more! The pub on-site did good simple food for lunch too - very nice washed down with a pint. The kids enjoyed a soft play session in the play barn, the mine cart ride, dressing up, and took part in all the Easter activities, so it was a full day. Thank you - well be back!
