Visit websiteWe visited Corris Mine Explorers for the first time and had a fantastic experience. The reception staff were very welcoming, which made a great first impression. Tour guide explained the history of the corris mine clearly and shared lots of interesting information throughout the visit. It was both informative and engaging. We will definitely be visiting again!
A very fun and informative activity to do, especially on a rainy day. Our tour guide, Paul, was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. Safety helmets, torches and wellies were all provided. Overall, a fantastic experience.
We booked in advance, and enjoyed an hour and a half touring this deep slate mine with (excellent) guide Paul. There are four steps to climb, and maybe half a mile of walking through mainly 2m x 2m tunnels. As we were the only guests, it was actually a private tour for my wife and I. The stories of the hard and dangerous work of 130-180 miners was really interesting. We had our questions answered during our visit to four chambers of the 84 in the mine. When Paul encouraged us to turn our lamps off, it was JET black darkness! Take walking boots or wellies, and warm clothes (as it’s 8’C in there). Thank you for a great tour, Paul. Highly recommended to others.
Situated within its own little village with a cafe craft shops, gin distillery and ice cream shop it’s got everything you need to start your day here. We pre booked our tickets and on arrival it’s the last building in the complex you book in at. (Number 11 I think ) staff very friendly and informative health and safety brief and a signature you’re then ready for the experience. Our guide today was Kelly she got us our hard hats lights and offered wellies for my niece who was 8 definitely recommend going in walking boots or wellies as it’s a little wet inside. I wore shorts and didn’t find it to cold but I do all year round so if you’re a little sensitive to the cold put some pants on. Short walk over the road and up the hill and you arrive at the entrance the tour was great very informative and was made even better by our guide Kelly she has loads of information that she tells you and answered all the questions from our group, she answered all questions and then added more info on the back of it fantastic guide and deserves recognition for her work great day had by all of us and definitely recommended. Thanks again
Me and my partner Laura love Wales and exploring, so we saw this and having done the "PG" version as Tim said with the King Arthur experience we very much looked forward to the full mine adventure. We had a wonderful guide named Tim who was an awesome chap, knew his stuff and definitely a fantastic character with a unique background. It was just me, my partner and Tim, we felt completely easy and safe with him, everything was explained so clearly and very easy to understand. Was catered to our wants and needs and the whole experience felt like it was a personal adventure for just us both. He took the time to show us everything that we could see due to the excessive rain, any questions we had he fully answered and it was a brilliant experience. The size and scale of this mine was unbelievable as well, the history and the preservation of this mine is incredible. Our favourite mine adventure that we have completed out of the ones we have done in Wales. Highly recommend this to anyone with a love of history or even just for great fun, Tim was absolutely brilliant 10/10 and we are most certainly looking to come back again and see the other Chambers!
