Hidden gem near Liskeard - highly recommended. Chanced upon a sign to this attraction whilst driving from Liskeard to Bodmin on the A38, decided to investigate online, and booked tickets in advance, which was very easy. Absolutely perfect, the staff were so friendly and engaging - genuine people, very fair pricing. Charming tea room / cafe, the cream tea with scones was great. Engaging conversations with the family-run team. Cavern experience was highly informative and interesting - no time pressure, we wandered freely around. Fantastic place to escape the summer heat, as it's a constant 10 degrees C, I believe. Big plus point: they haven't over-commercialised this venue - they've got it just right.Well done, guys.

An interesting insight to the history of mining in Cornwall. Plenty of information to read as you walk around. We found the mine / caverns easy to access. Nice walk in the garden area too. Take your time as the mine isn't huge. Theres a lake inside where you can turn the light on and off to see how it was back in the day. Signage on where to go could have been better but we found our was regardless

Wonderful visit, nice tearoom and friendly cheery staff. The caverns were laid out well and adequately lit for effect. Nice circuit woodland walk too. Parking might be an issue, although we got a space.

​A Visual Stunning Slice of Cornish History! ★★★★★ ​Carnglaze Caverns is a wonderful piece of local Cornish history and absolutely worth a visit if you want to learn more about the area. The caverns themselves are visually stunning, and the lovely little woodland walk on the grounds is a fantastic bonus. ​The staff here are absolutely amazing—so friendly and welcoming. There is also a nice little cafe on-site that serves hot snacks, drinks, and more. ​While this isn't an all-day attraction (you'll probably spend about 2 hours here), it is still incredibly well-priced for everything on offer. Highly recommended!

Wonderful , magical , glorious! The gardens are full of birds and unusual plants /flowers. So many hidden things to spot too . A beautiful walk through tge woods . The caves weren’t claustrophobic, lots to read about the history as you meander through taking as long as you want . Cute cafe with really good coffee. Welcome to eat your own picnic undercover too and even stay the night in your camper van. Lovely staff all seemed genuinely happy and cared about the place . Sweet gift shop with lots of little unusual trinkets /crafts Def worth a visit and great value for money
