SW visit to Morwellham Quay @ Morwellham Quay

Tickets

May 11 all-day

This is a very interesting place by the River Tamar.

Please book your tickets via the Morwellham Quay website or ring 01822 832766 – you can either get a Village Explorer ticket (which includes guided activities like chocolate making and dressing up) or a Mine Train Adventure ticket (which doesn’t), both of which cost £15.95 for adults, £14.95 for concessions and children 3 – 17 £13.95. If you want to get a combined ticket and do both it costs £22.95 for adults, £21.95 for concessions and £18.95 for children. With just a Mine Train ticket you can wander around the buildings without a guide, which is what some of us are going to do, before going on the 12.30 – 1.30 pm train ride.

We’ll meet at 10.45 am at the entrance and have a look round and possibly lunch before going on the train ride.

We hope to see you.
