Visiting Geevor Mine on the Tin Coast

Highlights at Geevor Tin Mine

From closure to heritage centre

After closing as a working mine in 1990 the mine is now open to visitors. Discover the stories of local miners who worked underground in Cornwall in modern times.

Transformed into a heritage centre, the buildings at Geevor remain as they were left on the last shift in 1990.

A community involvement

Geevor is managed by a local community cooperative and is not owned by the National Trust. Geevor and Levant work together as partners on the Tin Coast.

Hard Rock Museum

Visit the Hard Rock Museum and use the interactive displays to find out more about mining through the ages. Discover the collection of minerals, rare artefacts and stories of mining in the area from the miners who completed the work.

Surface and underground visits

Explore the expansive surface buildings and go underground in the mining tunnels of Wheal Mexico. Experience what a working shift was like for miners underground and those working at the surface. Don’t forget to fasten your safety helmet as part of the underground tour.
