Redruth’s recently restored railway station is early nineteenth century. Many of the buildings on Fore Street, the main shopping area, are of a similar period. The street is dominated by the old clock tower.
Murdoch House was the home of inventor, William Murdoch, and is believed to have been the first house in the world to have been lit by piped coal gas. Today, it houses the Global Migration Project and tourists call there to trace their Cornish ancestors.
During the summer months, Redruth holds several continental markets. The Redruth Town Trail is a short walk through the town, featuring places of historical and other interest.
Nearby Gwennap Pit is where John Wesley preached his sermons. Tolgus Tin Stream Works is an ancient monument to Cornwall’s old tin industry.
Carn Brea Leisure centre is close to Redruth. The town is ideally situated for visits to both the north and the south Cornish coasts.
