Are you a secret survivalist? If yes, then don’t miss out on the fascinating and adrenaline filled underground caving in the Cornish mines! While the famous Cornish miners aren’t around anymore, their impact on Cornwall lives on and you can experience it hands-on, travelling through history beginning with the mine’s oldest workings dating back to the 16th century and ending with those sections worked on only a hundred years ago. Choose between their easier tours, perfect for beginners with plenty of walking and crawling, or their more advanced tour which will take you all the way through the mine traversing gaping chasms and flooded passages via ropes and abseiling down a 200-foot drop!
