Welcome to Corris Mine Explorers!

Explore a long abandoned Welsh Slate Mine

Step back in time with Corris Mine Explorers in Mid Wales as you explore the workings of an old Welsh Slate Mine.

This rare opportunity takes you into the vast underground caverns of the disused mines and way back to 1836 when the mines were first worked. See the machinery and miners' tools, their candles and even a packet of cigarettes. It feels as if the miners have just gone with lots of things they left behind still in place.

Your guide will help you to discover the old Braich Goch Mine and give you a real insight into the tough working conditions endured by our forefathers.

This is a part of our heritage and a truly authentic Welsh experience. Definitely not to be missed.

"Amazing experience felt like I'd stepped back in time, awesome guide. Thanks Mark."
