walked around Charlestown late in the day and so need to go back to look at the museum. What a beautiful and pretty little town. We spent quite a long time just taking photos of the tall ship and the sea. Will go to the museum next year, looking forward to it after reading the reviews on this page. I... More

Better than I expected. Some of the exhibits are a bit dated and the British Gas kitchen stove exhibit is ridiculously out of place, but there's a lot of stuff here and the labelling is mostly informative, so if you quite like museums and/or are curious about the history of Charlie's Town then it's worth a visit.

The Charlestown attraction has a full sized tall ship docked at the site. Great for anyone either as a couple or with children. The... More

However it was all a bit all over the place, there was no sense of direction and as already been commented on, a decluttering would be... More

This is only a place for people who truly have an interest as there is a huge amount of stuff to look at, read about and see. If you prefer an interactive museum then this is not for you We went on a rainy day and it was a great place to explore with some unique artifacts and information The... More

Our second time visiting the centre. The first was several years ago with our 2 sons.This time without our children my wife and I had chance to take it all in. The China Clay industry and the harbour history and videos are very interesting. Lots of shipwreck memorabilia (as you would expect!) and very poignant stories of ships coming to... More
