Storm Tower Exhibition

To commemorate the history of the Storm Tower and the historic journey it has experienced, a dedicated exhibition has been installed at The Castle Heritage Centre. The exhibition features information on the Acland family, the history of the Storm Tower, the past and recent moves to preserve the tower, the community’s evolvement and a look at climate change which is the reason why the much loved landmark was moved and saved. This exhibition can be found on the ground floor of The Castle, just off the reception area, right of the main stairs, which is open from 10am every day offering free entry into our exhibitions and our galleries.

More about Hele

Cornwall, England

Hele sits quietly in Cornwall where the sea air does more than just smell of salt; it clears the head for a proper local walk or a quiet pub chat. Without any big venues to shout about, the town relies on its neighbours and community spirit to keep things lively through the seasons. The real magic happens when families gather at a nearby inn for Sunday roast or when artists set up stalls by the shore. It is this simple, unpretentious charm that keeps visitors coming back year after year without needing a single fancy brochure.
