Carnglaze Caverns and The Rum Store

The Caverns

Carnglaze consists of three underground caverns set in 6.5 acres of wooded hillside of the Loveny valley at St. Neot, near the historic market town of Liskeard.

You will be taken on a guided tour, which will last for around 45 minutes, through the three caverns of cathedral proportions, hand-crafted by local slate miners.  Within the complex is the famous sub-terranean lake with its crystal clear blue/green water.  During the tour you will go about 150m into the hillside and 60m below ground.

The Rum Store

During the Second World War the Royal Navy used the first of three caverns at Carnglaze to store its supply of rum.  In 2001 it was converted into an auditorium with seating for 400.

The slate walls and roof form a stunning backdrop for live performances, making this a unique venue. Due to the shape and height of the cavern, the acoustics are outstanding and acclaimed by many of the international performerswho have been to The Rum Store.  A variety of concerts and events takes place over the year offering a selection of musical genres.
