Welcome to Connected Earth at Porthcurno Telegraph Museum.
Situated in beautiful Porthcurno bay the main museum exhibits are located in historic tunnels hewn out of solid granite rock. Porthcurno was a major cable station and the hub of the Eastern Telegraph Company's international links. As such it was an obvious enemy target during wartime. The sandy beech of Porthcurno Bay is just five minutes walk away.
Further information can be obtained by contacting the Museum reception or via the website.
