We have two free events focussed on Treffry Viaduct coming up at the end of the month, and warmly welcome you all to come.
One of 13 historic sites we protect, Treffry Viaduct is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, as designated by UNESCO.
These events are part of a £10K heritage project which has been made possible by funding from GWR. Treffry Viaduct is a 25-minute walk from Luxulyan Train Station.
