Morwellham quay was of importance in the area's Mining history. It is an English Heritage site, and former Port.
It has been asleep for a few years but plans to re open in 2022. The railway into the mine is being rebuilt. A new kids soft play centre opened. We like to canoe up to Morwellham for an evening meal at The Ship.
