About this business

PK Porthcurno is a fascinating museum tucked away in the stunning Cornish valley of Porthcurno, just a stone’s throw from the dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters of the south-west coast. Once the beating heart of global communications, this place was the landing site for undersea telegraph cables that connected Britain to the rest of the world. Today, PK Porthcurno brings that history to life with hands-on exhibits, interactive displays, and stories that spark the imagination, making it a brilliant spot for families, tech enthusiasts, and anyone with a curious mind.

What really sets PK Porthcurno apart is its unique blend of heritage and scenery. The museum is partly housed in atmospheric wartime tunnels carved deep into the cliffs, which adds a real sense of adventure as you explore. Outside, you’re treated to breathtaking views of the lush valley and the sparkling sea beyond. There’s a friendly, welcoming vibe throughout, and the café is perfect for a relaxing break after a wander through the exhibits. Whether you’re a history buff or just after a memorable day out in Cornwall, PK Porthcurno is a hidden gem that’s well worth a visit.
