 tin mine  Add category
A working tin mine until 1990, this is one of the largest mining history sites in the country. The surface buildings have been restored so visitors can glimpse the processing plants where the ore was crushed. Highlights include an adit tour (a passage) and a museum that describes the method of tin production.
