The Pilchard Works

A ‘smelly’ day out lol. Seriously if you fancy doing something different from the norm then have yourself a day trip out to the Pilchard Works Sole producers and exporters of
traditional Cornish salted pilchards. It’s a working factory museum that produces salt fish. The tour was great with grand old sea dog types telling you about Cornwall’s fishing heritage over the last 400 years. We learned all about salting and pressing and saw demonstrations. There were hands on things for the kids (and hubby groan) to play with like pulleys and presses and you can make your own stencil prints. It’s not that easy to get about in a wheelchair however I managed with a stick as it’s not that big, adequate parking. Cheap admission and a real treat to do something different however as I said quite smelly.
