Visit Geevor Tin Mine

---

Cornish mining and Cornish miners are world famous. Come to Geevor to see how the process of extracting and processing tin actually took place. The miners searched for tin deep in the ground and far below the sea. Nowadays you can walk through narrow 18th century tunnels with a guide who vividly brings to life the conditions of those times.

The museum tells the story of mining in Cornwall and the people who lived here. In our mineral gallery you can see some of the spectacular and unusual minerals which are found underground in Cornwall.

Above ground you can visit surface buildings such as the Miners’ Dry, left almost exactly as it was on that day in 1990 when the last working miner left the site. You can walk through the Mill and learn about the processes used to obtain tin concentrate from the ore brought up from the tunnels below. Dogs are welcome all over the site with the exception of the Underground Tour. Enjoy a home cooked meal in the café with views over the Atlantic; visit the shop for a tempting range of books, minerals, jewellery and crafts.
