Hiking

The Sygun Copper Mine offers the opportunity for those with a sense of adventure and curiosity to discover the wonders of a historic copper mine for themselves. This is suitable for the whole family. There are winding tunnels and large colorful rooms with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. Activities also include lake/mountain walks, pottery making, archery, gold panning, metal detecting for ancient coins, adventure playground and bouncy castle.

Hiking

The old and formerly abandoned Sygun Copper Mine can be visited nowadays. You can take a self guided audio tour through the tunnels and caves of the mine and learn about the mining history of Wales in the museum afterwards. Besides the museum you can find a nice café in the old building, where you can take a rest from your hiking tour.
