Tamar Valley Centre – Summer Opening

The Tamar Valley Centre, just 5 minutes walk from Gunnislake Train Station, will be open and staffed 7 days a week throughout the summer.

An exhibition, highlighting the very best the Tamar Valley AONB has to offer, will be installed shortly to encourage visitors to explore, enjoy and understand more about the landscape. To complement this, and to celebrate the International Year of Biodiversity, a small display, changing weekly, will be on show from a variety of local organisations.

Touchscreen technology offers visitors to the Centre the chance to view 3 locally produced short films, delving deeper into certain aspects of Tamar Valley life.

Tamar Valley Centre Manager, Kayleigh Milden, says: ‘The Tamar Valley Centre will play a vital role in the future development of the Valley’s heritage. The forthcoming exhibition is just the beginning of a variety of future events which will aim to engage visitors and the local community with the Valley’s unique history and landscape.’

A range of leaflets and other information to enhance your time in the Tamar Valley, is available from the Centre, as well as local books, and tea/coffee. A new collection of souvenirs will shortly be on sale, too.
