Celebrating Tin mining and later, Arsenic production, this living museum is a great experience for both young and old. The Mine tour explains the conditions miners worked in, visit the village and you experience the conditions they lived in. Demonstrations go on throughout the day explaining thing like how the Assayer worked along with how to make a rope. Hopefully this place will remain open and providing it does put it on you places to visit list.

One of the highlights of our UK travel this year was the opportunity to visit Eden Project in…read moreBodelva, Cornwall. Inside the two Biomes are collections of plants in diverse climates and Environments, the project also showcased extensive gardens with a wide variety of plant and flowers. Of the two Biomes, Mediterranean and Rainforest, I found myself more fascinated with the latter. The rainforest is way too realistic, the swamp, waterfalls and humidity its a good preview for someone who hasn't been to Asia or some tropical countries. The food court is also a destination in its own right; there are so many dishes to choose from as a matter of fact I believe that there were dishes from Africa, South America, Asia and of course some English dishes such as the local Cornish Pasty. It is a truly unique experience for me and I have never seen anything like it.

Interesting garden and biospheres. The tropical rainforest sphere was especially good. Informative…read moreboards detailing plants and how they add to our global diversity. I do think the price of £27.50 was very expensive for a one day visit, although that was for a year pass so a good deal if local or planning to go back. Although the site is incredible and the eco aspect interesting I have been to greenhouses with as much impact. Pleased I went but thought it overpriced

Please note…read morethat if you are disabled and cannot climb stairs then this place is not a good place to visit. I was unable to go on the tour so my whole family decided not to do it as they didn't want to leave me sitting downstairs in the brewery shop for an hour on my own. It's such a shame but then it's a very old building and is built with lots of stairs. However the shop is very good and open to the public without an entrance fee.

The staff at the Marine Centre have a series of organised events during the year including rock pool rambles and crafty sessions. The rock pool rambles are definitely recommended, you learn so much. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and on every one we've been on they've found really amazing sea creatures like sea urchins and star fish and big crabs and they let the children touch them etc and are full of information. They are very reasonably priced - a couple of pounds per person. Need wellies. And be prepared to walk quite a long way over the rocks.
