About Corris Mine Explorers
Best Activity / Experience in Mid Wales (Mid Wales Tourism Awards) and awarded a Trip Advisor Travellers' Choice Award 2024.
Explore the abandoned workings of an old Welsh slate mine with some of the best Mine Guides in Britain. Follow in the footsteps of Victorian slate miners with one of our expert guides. You'll experience the broad tunnels and cavernous chambers where the world's finest slate was excavated by both hand and explosive, before being shipped around the world.
From the moment you step through a hidden door in the mountainside, you'll be immersed into a way of life and work which changed little throughout the mine's history.
Having barely been touched since the mine was abandoned in the 1970s, the countless awards and outstanding reviews of our trips explain how unmissable this authentic and fascinating experience is.
