Redruth is a quiet town that was granted it’s Market Charter in 1324, famed for being the capital of the mining industry. Probably one of the most historical sites is Carn Brea which soars 738’ above sea level, and has a Medieval Castle and a 90’ granite obelisk standing proud erected on this site in memory Francis Bassett and also home to Neolithic settlements. ‘The Town Trail’ which features historical places of interest including the house belonging to the inventor William Murdock which is said to be the first house in the world to have been lit by piped gas, and the town Museum housing interesting artefacts on mining and farming. This is an ideal way of discovering the town’s past. Gwennap Pit is a natural depression in the earth, in 1762 John Wesley first preached here and although he has long gone the area is still home to services today. Or perhaps the lure of minerals attract and will ensure a visit to the Museum at Camborne School of Mines that has an impressive collection of rocks and minerals from all over the world on display. Visitors find there is a lot to discover and much to share.
