This unusual attraction was possibly a hollow created by mining activities and has remarkable acoustic properties. It became famous in the 1700's when John Wesley the founder of Methodism started preaching here. Gwennap Pit is accessible at all times and the visitor centre is open during the high season.

The Shire Horse Farm and Carriage Museum

This is not the place to visit if you are expecting a vistor centre and tea shop. This is a working farm so expect to get muddy (wellies advised) and expect volunteer helpers with a wealth of knowledge to give you an insight into this loving home for unwanted horses.
