Carnglaze consists
of three underground caverns set in 6.5 acres of wooded hillside
of the Loveny valley at St. Neot, near Liskeard.
You will be taken on a guided tour, which will
last for about 45 minutes, through the three caverns of cathedral
proportions, hand created by local slate miners. Within the complex
is the famous subterranean lake with it crystal clear blue/green
water. During the tour you will go about 150m into the hillside
and 60m below ground.
A unique display of South West minerals can be
seen in the Rum Store chamber. The caverns are at a constant 10°C,
so a jumper and sensible footwear are recommended. As well as the
craft and mineral shop, there is a refreshment area with vending
machines giving hot and cold drinks and snacks. Picnic areas are
available in the gardens.
