The Hard Rock Museum at Geevor Tin Mine brings Cornwall's tin mining heritage to life with hands-on, interactive activities suited to the whole family. You can explore a gallery displaying minerals, rare artefacts and exhibits covering the history of tin mining and its uses today, listen to recordings of former miners recounting their own experiences, and watch the film 'Geevor Voices', which includes rare footage filmed underground and on the surface when the mine was still working. It's a good pick for families wanting an engaging, educational day out. The museum sits in St. Just, Cornwall, with Penzance station 6.7 miles away, Gwynver beach 4.4 miles away, and 48 bookable places to stay within 5 miles if you fancy making a stay of it.
