Pull on your boots and discover the UK’s only known Roman Gold Mine
We are looking forward to welcoming you to the places we care for across Wales. Please check the relevant individual property webpage for the latest information when planning your visit.
Hidden in these wooded hillsides is evidence of Roman gold mining dating back over 2,000 years.
On our pre-booked guided tours our expert guides will unveil the secrets of Roman mining and take you underground into the mine itself, ending with the chance to try the gold panning experience.
Mining on this site continued into the twentieth century, ending in 1938. Our tours start from the 1930s mine yard where you’ll see buildings and mining machinery dating from that time.
Please note, underground tours involve an active outdoor visit up steps and steep slopes. Appropriate outer wear and stout enclosed footwear is essential. Children must 1 meter in height.
Extend your day and explore the Cothi Valley, following riverside walks, woodlands and expansive views across the Valley.
