Dolaucothi Gold Mines
Take a guided underground tour of the only known Roman gold mine in the UK, either the one-hour Victorian Tour into the Mitchell Mine or the 30-minute level-access Level Tour, and pan for gold in the mine yard.
La visite
Pourquoi cela vaut le détour
Gold mining is where the mechanics of extracting a precious material from ordinary rock are easiest to follow, and panning makes the separation step physical.
Avant de partir
The National Trust states that booking is essential for both underground tours, that new bookings are released every Thursday for the following two weeks, and that admission charges apply to members and non-members alike. Children under 1 metre in height, normally around five years old, are not permitted underground, all children must wear a hard hat and walk unaided, and stout enclosed footwear is required; the Level Tour has level access with no steps and suits some wheeled chairs and walking aids.
