An excellent museum, filled with exhibits and information about the «Victorian internet» — the global telegraph network, of which this little corner of Cornwall was a vital link.

We knew nothing about this before visiting — just popped in because it sounded interesting — and we were glad we did — it’s great!
We had an interesting talk from someone who worked there during the war and learned all kinds about how communications systems developed around the world.
There are plenty of scientific machinery things for the grown — ups to look at, and loads of hands — on things for the kids to play with. You can even send a telegraph using original equipment if you want!
It’s worth going up the evacuation stairs to the look out point if you’ve got the energy as you get a wonderful view of the Cornish coast.

A truly educational visit for the whole family. You learn all about how Semaphore was first invented by an Englishman Robert Hooke and the kids (and adults) get to play with lots of gadgets and stuff which is good fun. The museum itself is underground and that in itself makes it fun, with mazes of tunnels to explore and find out how this revolutionary technique was started. Parking for disabled drivers and passengers is available close to the museum and disabled carers go in free. You can get drinks and ice creams and snacks to keep the kids happy.

A fascinating insight into a little piece of Cornwall’s varied history.
For something out of the ordinary, visit Porthcurno and prepared to be amazed.

Who knew there was so much history in this little valley! The talk in the tunnels excavated into the rock to protect the sending and receiving of communications in and out of Britain during WWII was very interesting, and, as it was a quiet day, tailored to the interests of the audience members. Find out how submarine cables were and are laid under the sea, how messages were sent and received, the technology and physics used to do it, and the history of this communications base at Porthcurno.
