Porthcurno has a unique historic provenance: this is where the telegraph cables that linked Britain with its Empire and other nations came ashore. The valley was the hub of international cable communications from 1870-1970 and also training college for the communications industry until 1993. Porthcurno was the largest cable station in the world.

Although I say it myself it was a very good evening ! Many members spoke highly of Pk and their visits there . One Committee member has suggested that for one of their group visits next year Porthcurno might be a good choice . Watch this space !
