Marconi Centre Poldhu Cove
This is where Guglielmo Marconi made the big break through in getting a signal across the Atlantic ocean.
At 1:30 im standing in the transmitter room where those 3 dots ( letter S in morse code ) was sent to Newfoundland in Canada.
Notice the Edwardian tiles and concrete footings for the mast's still looking good even though being exposed to the harsh winds and salt air from the Atlantic.
Whether you like radio or not this is a very interesting place to visit if your in the area and you never know you might learn something i know i did!
Thanks again to the club GB2GM who use the centre for there club and man the centre for visitors.

Walks along the cliffs are well worth the effort. There are some stunning views from the coastal footpath. an attractive walk along the cliffs. It is a sandy beach popular with surfers. The coastal path runs through Polurrian Cove, along the cliffs, down through Mullion Cove and up again on to Predannack Heath.
The dramatic Mullion Cove is a must. It is owned by the National Trust and has a pretty working harbour, protected from the winter gales by stout sea walls. The harbour was completed in 1895 The cove had a lifeboat station from 1867 until 1909, as there were frequent wrecks under Mullion cliffs along a stretch of dangerous coastline. Inland there are the remains of Wheal Unity copper mine, which operated for about 200 years from the early 18th century.
Mullion is the largest village on the Lizard and has shops, inns, cafes and restaurants, craft shops and art galleries. There is a golf course close to Mullion. In the centre of the village, the mainly 13th century church of St Mellanus is renowned for its richly-carved oak bench-ends
The POLDHU wireless station was used by the Marconi company for the first trans-oceanic service of wireless telegraphy which was opened with a second Marconi station at Glance bay in Canada in 1902.When the Poldhu station was erected in 1900 wireless was in its infancy, when it was demolished in 1935, wireless was established for communication on land, at sea and in the air.
Mullion Golf Club situated on the cliffs of the Lizard Peninsula is not only the most Southerly course but one of the most beautiful courses in the West Country. Framed by sandy coves and protected reed beds, the course, now well past it's centenary, has always attracted the literary giants who not only enjoyed the golf but also fascinated by the ambience.
At Kynance Cliff the path travels around some rocky outcrops crusted with yellow and green lichens and then drops steeply downhill to the cove.
Kynance is one of the prettiest coves in Cornwall and as a result one of the most painted and photographed. It is now owned by the National Trust the brilliant turquoise water and white sand, with islands, caves and unexpected views Located less than 2 miles from The Lizard and once remote and difficult to get to, but is one of the most beautiful seaside locations with it picturesque, cove
The coastal formations are shapely, the black rocks outstanding, the sand soft and almost white and the orange lichen contrasts superbly with the blue sky, turquoise water and green grass. Nature at her most artistic Kynance Cove a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Lizard Complex, composed of peridotite and serpentinite. These are both igneous rocks, formed through volcanic processes between 359 and 416 million years ago
Quaint cottages line the road to Church Cove and St Wynwallow Church is a halfway point between the cove and the village. Although only a small cove, many goings on can be observed, such as the small fishing boats that are launched from the slipway by local fishermen and the Lizard lifeboat station can be seen from the cliffs.
St Wynwallow's Church, Landewednack, The Lizard St Wynwallow's Church in the pretty hamlet of Landewednack is the most southerly church in mainland Britain. The church was probably founded around AD 600, though no obvious remains of that first church can be seen today. The church is largely built of granite and the local serpentine stone, creating an attractive patchwork pattern of stone.
The Lizard Lifeboat Station can refer to several Royal National Lifeboat Institution lifeboat stations located on The Lizard in Cornwall, The Lizard lifeboat station is located at Kilcobben Cove on The Lizard peninsula.
