About this place
What to expect
Come and play in their history! Step back in time at the Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre, where history comes alive through a captivating array of interactive experiences. Discover a different story around every corner as you push buttons, pull levers, crawl through tunnels, and search for hidden animals. Immerse yourself in the vibrant past of Beaconsfield and the Tamar Valley with hands-on exhibits that let you touch, feel, and engage with 1000s of fascinating artifacts. They recommend spending at least 90 minutes to fully explore the Centre, though you may want to stay longer, lost in the enchanting tales of yesteryear. Be prepared for an adventure, as sections of the Heritage Centre occupy an industrial ruin site that is outdoors and exposed to the elements.
