What a fantastic & fascinating place. My wife, 4 year old son & I visited on an overcast day and…read morereally enjoyed the outside areas. The indoor exhibits did not hold our son's attention for long enough for us to enjoy but they seemed very informative. There is a children's adventure playground complete with diggers and "assault course". We walked around the water wheels and followed the process of the mining around which our son loved. We also walked up to the pit where we saw the modern operation underway - well worth the effort. The only disappoinment was the food which was a little on the expensive side and typical of the museum quality & standard. My advice is take a pinic as there are lots of benches in the adventure playground. BTW, if you gift aid the entry you can get a pass valid for re-entry for the year.

Wheal Martyn is around 10 miles from the Eden Project but much less crowded. There is a main building which shows how the China clay was extracted and the techniques used. You can even have a go at producing a clay pot on a spinning wheel! There are also several woodland walks here, including one which goes through a tunnel under a hill and comes out at the edge of a large China clay pit. The museum is quite interesting although there is not enough to stay here for the full day so I would recommend only spending an afternoon here. This isn't the most fun attraction to go to in Cornwall, but if you want to learn about the history of Cornwall I recommend this to you.

Gayle was amazed and I was enthralled during a recent performance at Berkeley Rep. This wildly imaginative theatrical, musical, and poetic ride through one of the Brothers Grimm's grimmer tales, was a special Holiday gift from director-adapter Emma Rice and Cornwall's brilliant Kneehigh Theatre. Thank you for traveling all this way from the UK to put on this outstanding production. Gayle also mentioned that this was one of the few plays that she's seen where she wanted the production to go straight through without any intermission to break up the magic. The Wild Bride was a Christmas Eve Present that kept on giving. It starts as an enchanted and bluesy folktale, dips into creepy nightmare terrain, and then soars on the wings of grit, resolution and fantasy. There's 6 Kneehigh professionals on the stage and whether they were singing, acting, or playing instruments, it all fit together in an irresistible package, with an exhilarating bow on top. I particularly enjoyed the singing by "The Girl" (who I'm sure I saw in the Cirque Du Soleil production of Quidam), the larger than life Devil, and the Father's asking the Audience for help when he figured out that he had just unwittingly sold his daughter to the Devil (You're smart University folks aren't you? - Can't you help me figure something out?). The "Turn Off Your Cellphone" warning before the play started was also funny and clever. This is the first year that Gayle and I have purchased season tickets at Berkeley Rep and so far our experience has exceeded our already high expectations. What we particularly enjoy are the fruits of theatrical collaboration, whether it's Rita Moreno, Bill Cain, and now Kneehigh providing the extra creative spark. And just like our annual travels up to Ashland for similar high quality experiences, I'm sure that we would also relish a visit to the Kneehigh Asylum if given half a chance. However, I'm sure that we won't need any help from the Devil to do so.
