Global tour for UK's largest mechanical puppet ‘Cornish Mining Man Engine’

The UK’s largest ever mechanical puppet is planning a global tour after finishing a two-week journey across Devon and Cornwall.

Cornish Mining Man Engine, a 10 metre-high puppet, was created to mark the 10th anniversary of Cornwall and West Devon mining landscape being added to the Unesco list of World Heritage Sites.

It has completed a 170km journey across the entire length of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site — from Tavistock in Devon to the Geevor Tin Mine at Pendeen in Cornwall.
