I paid a visit to Goonhilly many years ago when I worked for BT. My BT pass also got me free entry.

The workings under those huge satellite antenna is amazing.Blink

Wouldn`t mind another visit when the upgrade is done, but don`t know wether they even do visits now with the way security is.

EDIT: Ooooh look what I just found
