    When I visited, the building could not be entered, but the mine site is freely accessible. From here you also have a view of "Mount's Bay" and the tidal island "St. Michaels Mount".

    Since 2006, this mine has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Mining Landscape of Cornwall and West Devon".

      During the 18th and 19th centuries, Ding Dong Mine was particularly productive. Steam engines were used to drain the mine. Towards the end of the 19th century, Ding Dong Mine's productivity declined due to the depletion of readily accessible ores and increasing international competition. The mine finally closed in 1877, but remained an important part of Cornwall's industrial heritage. Today, Ding Dong Mine is a ruin, protected as a historic monument.
