Great Orme Mines

Great Orme Mines: Crawling Through Ancient Copper Tunnels

5.0 (574)

Skip the pier and head underground for real history. You navigate low, tight tunnels where Bronze Age miners extracted copper with stone tools. Vivian’s Shaft is the main event, offering a legit, dizzying drop. Wear waterproof boots because the mud is aggressive and bring a jacket; it stays at 10°C year-round. Budget 75 minutes for the full loop. Grab the 10am slot to dodge the inevitable chaos of school field trips.
