Minack Theatre

With the potential to be the most uncomfortable theatre in the country for those who come unprepared for what the Atlantic weather can throw across the stage; the spectacular location of the Minack Theatre set on granite cliffs overlooking Porthcurno bay guarantees it as a top tourist attraction. Here we see the theatre on a benign September day with a handful of tourists enjoying a leisurely look around this unique venue.

Porthcurno Cable Hut is where telegraph cables from all over the world terminated to be routed to UK destinations. Equipment in this hut enabled engineers to test the various cable circuits before they were routed to the Cable Station on the cliff behind.
