Attractions at the 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 unique 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!
