This little museum is a gem. The volunteer staff were on hand to answer questions; there is an excellent short video and you can try your hand at morse. Above all it is a reminder of the small piece of history which happened in the field outside about 100 years ago - and if you don't mind cows you can go and look for the foundations of the masts.

The Marconi Centre is built on the original site of Marconi's pioneering and experimental radio trans-Atlantic transmitting site and now the home of Poldhu Amateur Radio Club. I've never been able to spare the time and effort to learn and practice Morse, although I passed the RAE years ago with Distinction. The Marconi Monument is the seaward side of a Cornish hedge, by the SW Coast Path. Well worth a visit for those interested in the origins of modern tele-comms - and IMO far more interesting than Porthcurno. Large car park at the bottom of the hill, but disabled badge holders can park in the grounds of what used to be the Poldhu Hotel (one of three from 1890/1900 -Polurrian and Mullion Cove being the others) now Poldhu Nursing Home.

I didn't go into this centre but my husband did and he asked me to put in a review to say it was very interesting indeed. He wants to go back as he was only able to stay for a short time on this occasion and he said he could have done with staying at least 1 hour.
