Willunga Slate Museum

At the top end of Willunga's ascending high street is this cluster of old stone buildings, which at various times have housed a police station, a courthouse, a prison and a boys' school. These days the emphasis is on Willunga's slate-mining history and the Cornish miners who did all the dirty work. Pick up the Willunga Slate Trail & Museum brochure and tour the town's top slate spots.
