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. Tin and copper have been mined in Cornwall since the Bronze Age.

The Story of Geevor
The exact date when mining began in the area eventually operated by Geevor is unknown - but in the old workings in the Wheal Carne section there is a date of 1791 cut into the wall of the adit (drainage) level.
