What a great little museum, a real "hidden gem". Packed full of models toys and even a steam engine it is well worth a visit. As someone who had trainsets in my youth I was delighted to see the museum's huge collection of model railways, it was a lovely trip down memory lane and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in railway models. There is also a large collection of mining locomotives, from several of Cornwall's well known tin mines and you even ride in train behind one.

Since we first visited in 2012, we've been back on average twice a year for various presents for the wife, kids, friends etc. It's a lovely little "village" with a jewellery shop making fine jewellery, a pearl shop where you can pick your own oyster and retrieve the pearl within, a build-a-bear workshop, a craft shop, a museum, krazy golf, panning for "gold" for the kids and a cafe and a hamper shop full of locally produced goods. It's a lovely little place and enough there to keep you for at least half a day. The jewellery is lovely and we've bought lots of different pieces over the years, given some as presents and they are always warmly received. The fact that they are still wearing them 7yrs on is testament to the quality.
