    The stunning Cornish coastline around Pendeen was once at the heart of the Cornish tin and copper mining industry. Geevor Tin Mine gives you the opportunity to visit a real mine and learn what life was like for a Cornish miner.

      The "Geevor Tin Mine" looks like a ghost town. Until 20 years ago, tin and copper were mined here, which gave the Cornwall region a lot of wealth and jobs. After its economic peak during industrialization in the 19th century, it went down with the "Geevor Tin Mine" after the discovery of copper and zinc in the colonial states in Africa and Malaysia. The mines emptied suddenly, the people left the region. The ruins and the red earth remained behind. Today, the mine serves as a tourist attraction. You can visit the hidden passageways and drive 700 meters underground. For photographing a dream!
