Llywernog Silver-Lead Mine

LLYWERNOG is an authentic 18th century silver mine. A visit to Llywernog offers a fascinating insight into life nearly 200 years ago, when the mine employed over 60 people. Today, Llywernog is a fascinating and educational family adventure, and continues to be developed as a major all-weather attraction.
FRIENDLY and knowledgeable guides, who are always on hand to answer your questions and identify your geological finds, make Llywernog an ideal venue for schools and group visits. IT'S COOL in the mine even on the hottest day so warm clothing and stout footwear is a good idea!

	EXPLORE the 'Miners Trail' a self-guide footpath around the old workings linking the natural and man made features of the 7 acre site.

	SEE & TOUCH the wealth of artifacts on display in the dramatic exhibitions, including working waterwheels. Bring your mail to be 'posted underground in Mid Wales' in the dripping depths of Balcombes Level!

	GO DEEP underground on the 45 minute caplamp tour beyond the 'earthquake zone' and into the of a forgotten world.

ENJOY light refreshments in the cosy tearoom or for sunny days there is a great picnic site.

	PANNING is an easily acquired skill. Try your hand at working the mine minerals for silver and gems in the panning shed. Whatever you find is yours to keep!

	BROWSE the gift shop which sells good value souvenirs, minerals, jewelry and brass miners lamps.
