The half term got off to a flying start this Monday at our Treffry Heritage Explorer Day. Thank you to everyone who came along for this time-travelling adventure into Cornwall’s industrial past!
Over 150 people headed to the Luxulyan Valley to learn about the incredible history of Treffry Viaduct, with highlights including engineering challenges, sensory activities and historic storytelling from Multivax.
The site was a real hubbub of activity, and it was wonderful to see how much everyone enjoyed exploring this special place.
The history of the viaduct is closely intertwined with Cornwall’s railways, thanks to the branch line between Par and Newquay which runs directly under the monument and follows the historic route of the Cornwall Minerals Railway. Our team was therefore delighted to hear that almost half of those who attended the day made their journey there by train via Luxulyan Station, whilst many locals walked and cycled to the site.
The event was funded by GWR, and we are hugely grateful for its generous support.
