What to do and see in Corris, Wales: The Best Things to do

Corris Mine Explorers is now closed until a time when it is safe for us to reopen and to run our award winning underground trips once again. Officially the Best Experience in Mid Wales 2019 / 20. Delve around the secret underground world of a Welsh slate mine with one of Wales' top Mine Explorers; abandoned and forgotten yet full of relics, stories & adventure. Our trips take you into parts of the mine, hand-dug and worked by Victorian miners in 1836 and areas worked up until the 1970s when the mine closed. As the door shut for the very last time a virtual time capsule was left behind which you can now explore. After years of research, our top Mine Guides will share stories of mining life as you explore the underground with some climbing and scrambling if you wish (these parts of the trip are optional). Our trips run with a small group of explorers which means that we can largely tailor make them to suit your wishes, interests and abilities. Discover, explore and have lots of fun.

Our dragons are still snoring gently. We hope to be able to reopen the underground Labyrinth, safely, soon. Our gift shop is open daily. When we reopen, we will sail again through the cascading veil of an underground waterfall and discover a magical place where tales from the mists of time are retold. Tales of dragons, colossal giants, fierce battles and the legendary King Arthur. Guided by a Dark Age Boatman through immense caverns and winding tunnels, you will find these ancient Welsh stories brought to life through dramatic scenes, light and sound. Enjoy an exciting finale - Dragon River! Your adventures underground may disturb the guardians of the Labyrinth…will you avoid their clutches and return safely to the outside world? There are more ancient tales to be found back above ground in Lost Legends of The Stone Circle where you can navigate the snaking paths of a simple maze to find mythical stories, intriguing characters and The Stone Circle. Complete the quiz and win a medal!
