Tucked away in a wooded valley near the village of Ponsanooth, the old Gunpowder Works were in operation from the 1800s until the early 20th Century, when they were forced to close due to the invention of dynamite.

Park in the village of Ponsanooth, walk past the shop and up the steep hill. The reserve entrance is on your right.

Truro
Truro’s attractive Georgian streets are packed with unique shops, funky cafes and sleek restaurants. It’s easy to spend a day nosing around the little back streets and sipping a glass of wine on the piazza. Don’t miss the cathedral, a grand and newly renovated delight.
