Corris Mine Explorers

About Corris Mine Explorers

Follow in the footsteps of Victorian slate miners with the best Mine Guides. You’ll experience the broad tunnels and cavernous chambers where the world’s best slate was excavated by both hand and explosives, before being shipped around the world.  From the moment you step through a hidden door in the mountainside, you’ll be immersed into a way of life and work which changed little throughout the mine’s history. Having barely been touched since the mine was abandoned in the 1970s, the countless awards and outstanding reviews explain how unmissable this authentic and fascinating experience is.  Enjoy our Pathfinder trip for ages 8+ or step up a level to the Adventurer for ages 10+!
