Morwellham Quay
Morwellham Quay Review
In the 19th century, Morwellham (pronounced More-wel-am) was England's main copper-exporting port, and it has been carefully restored as a working museum, with quay workers and coachmen in costume. Visitors can board a special train that goes along the River Tamar and into the Charlotte and George Copper Mine. The site lies 2 miles east of Cotehele House and 5 miles southwest of Tavistock.
