Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station Experience Description / Reviews / Visitors Feedback
Junior Comment Goon Hilly is really big and wonderful. Its main satellite dish is called Arthur. Arthur used to carry radio signals around the world. There’s a nice tour around Goon Hilly on a bus. You can use lots of computers and there are telephone games. The café is quite good.
