Directions - Carnglaze Caverns can
best be found off the A38. From
Liskeard, there are brown tourist
signs directing to Carnglaze just
before Trago Mills. From Bodmin
the signs are just past Trago Mills.
From the A30, turn off at the sign
for Colliford Lake and follow the
signs to St Neot. Carnglaze is about a
mile south of the village, on the left.
There is a free on site car park and a
dedicated coach park. (Routes are
highlighted in red on the map above.)
Access ~Due to the nature of the
site, specific areas of the gardens and
the lower caverns have limited access
to some people of lower mobility
and wheelchair users. The first
cavern, The Rum Store, is fully
accessible for all persons, including
wheelchair users, and an adapted
group tour can be offered by prior
arrangement.
Tours Underground - there are three caverns of cathedral
proportions, hand created by local slate miners. During your
tour you will go about 150m into the hillside and 60m below
ground, via a flight of 60 steps. In the lower chambers you will
find the subterranean lake with it’s crystal clear blue/green
water. For much of the year you will be equipped to go on a
self-guided tour of the three caverns but in high season guided
tours may be in operation as there is a limit on numbers
allowed in the lower caverns at one time.
The Caverns are at a constant 10°C, so a jumper and sensible
footwear are recommended.
Walled Garden - our Crystals & Crafts Shop sells a variety of
local crafts, minerals, faeries, fossils & fudge. A booklet on the
history of the Caverns, written by Alan Pascoe, grandson of
the last mine captain, is also available. Picnic tables are available
both undercover and on the lawn. Hot and cold drinks are
avialable at the ticket office. Please help us reduce our carbon
footprint by making use of our recycling and composting
facilities.
Coach Parties & Group Tours – we welcome group
bookings by prior arrangement, including evenings, throughout
the year. Groups of 20 or more, paying as one, attract a 10%
discount. Please ring 01579 320251 for further information on
how to book a group tour

Woodland Walk & Enchanted Dell - set amongst the
wooded hillside at Carnglaze is a magical collection of
limited edition bronze faeries, mushrooms & dragons.
Walk through the terraced garden to see Shanhara and
her friends, where seasonal streams and a waterfall add to
the enchantment. Then follow the woodland path to a
panoramic view of St Neot village before looping back
to the main site: a round walk of approx 25 mins or
longer if you are counting the faeries! In spring the
woodlands have a spectacular carpet of 3 acres of
bluebells and other seasonal wild flowers. The Woodland
Walk is also open on Tuesday evenings during the
flowering of the bluebells for those who would like to
enjoy the early evening perfume at its best.
Dogs - on leads with careful owners are welcome at all
times in all our outdoor areas (due to Health & Safety
dogs are not allowed underground, with the exception of
assistance dogs). Dog waste is composted on site - please
use our biodegradable doggy bags available from shop &
ticket office, and the doggy waste bin provided.
The Rum Store - during the Second World War the Royal
Navy used the first cavern at Carnglaze to store its supply
of rum. Now home to a unique collection of South West
minerals, this chamber has now been converted into an
auditorium with seating for 400. The slate walls and roof
form a stunning backdrop for events, making this a unique
venue. Due to the shape and height of the cavern, the
acoustics are outstanding and have been acclaimed by many
of the local and international artists who have performed
here.
There is a fully licensed bar open on concert nights, and a
catering unit serving hot snack food at most events.
A variety of concerts are planned throughout the year
offering a selection of musical presentations with
performers from across the musical spectrum.
For details of events please visit our website
www.carnglaze.com . Concert goers come from all over
the country and the world!
Educational Visits - we welcome specifically educational
visits to support work in conjunction with elements of the
national curriculum such as Geography, Science and
History. We can tailor a tour to suit, if required: “Rocks &
Soils” and “Life after the iceage” (Key Stage 2) are
especially popular.
More detailed information can be found on the Education
web page at www.carnglaze.com
Weddings - approval for civil weddings and civil partner-
ships has been granted in four separate locations: inside
The Rum Store; beside the Subterranean Lake; in the Vine
Conservatory; and in the Enchanted Dell.
These are four unique locations to “tie the knot” and are
becoming increasingly popular with those couples looking
for somewhere a little different. Please contact us for a
separate brochure for weddings at Carnglaze or talk to the
staff in the ticket office or shop.
