The Marconi Centre — Attraction in Great Britain

A wonderful place run by the local radio hams. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Some great exhibits, they also have their modern kit and can communicate with others worldwide. There is a video and also hands on kits you can touch and test morse code. They are only open on limited days and times so you need to plan the visit.

Follow the directions up to the house and there is a car park for the centre off to the left. There are a few disabled parking bays right next to the centre just follow the dual tracks out of the side car...

Hard to find. Out on headland, for obvious reasons. This new building is a reconstruction of the original, and contains a museum telling the early 1900's Marconi story. Lots of wireless memorabilia and a working amateur radio station. Outside is the windswept site of the original buildings (just foundations now), and masts. There is also a monument on the Coast path. National Trust, but no admission charge, so well...

A must visit for anyone who has an interest in Communication history. They're open from 1.30pm and is run by volunteers from the local Ham Radio Club. They're all keen to show you around and you can donate or buy a souvenir of your visit. It is free entry. The Marconi Centre rents from National Trust who own the site. There is an excellent beach to visit afterwards at the bottom called Poldhu cove with golden sand...
