Cornwall Gold
About
Cornwall Gold is a historic mining heritage destination that blends free‑entry attractions with unique Cornish experiences. Nestled in the heart of Cornwall’s traditional mining landscape, the site features the impressive Tolgus Tin Mill – the last working tin‑streaming mill – alongside a heritage jewellery showroom that showcases locally‑made pieces created from recovered tin, silver and gold. Complementing the industrial history is the award‑winning Cornish Pantry, which offers a menu of locally sourced breakfasts, lunches and traditional Cornish cream teas. Families are welcomed with free activities such as gold panning, interactive exhibitions, and dog‑friendly café spaces. With free parking, open daily from 10am to 4pm (and on weekdays 9am‑5pm for general entry) and a welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages, Cornwall Gold offers an immersive glimpse into Cornwall’s industrial past and culinary present.
