Morwellham QuayDiscover another world just four miles from Tavistock as you step back in time with a visit to Morwellham Quay. This award-winning museum and visitor centre captures the West Country of yesteryear and amazes visitors as they roam the miner’s cottages, quaysides and docks of the quay and copper mine. Take a ride on the narrow-gauge Mine Railway along the scenic River Tamar before descending into the depths of the George and Charlotte Copper Mine. This fascinating journey through former workplaces demonstrates conditions and the lives of those Tavistock residents.
