Astonishing history in an amazing landscape

Geevor is a real Cornish tin mine little changed from when the mine closed in 1990 with a real underground experience. This autumn there are many activities for the family to enjoy including panning for gems, our quiz, our new QR trail, colouring-in corner for the younger ones all FREE with your entry ticket. Explore the mine and get hands-on in the hard rock museum. Talk to our tour guides about their time working as miners at Geevor. We know it's a bit further to drive so car parking is FREE for all of our visitors.
