Llywernog Mine is a good starting point for exploring the many tracks and footpaths that criss-cross the old silver-lead mining district to the west of Plynlimon. Many of these are being upgraded and way-marked as part of the 'Mining Landscapes Project' to raise awareness of this fascinating mining story.

Mountain bikes will soon be available for hire at the mine.
