Dolaucothi is the only known Roman Gold Mine in the UK. If you book a tour you’ll get the chance to walk over ancient surface workings and go underground to see how the Romans mined for gold, using advanced techniques in an era long before explosives. If you are thinking of touring the mines, pre-booking is essential. ("Walk-ins" are not accepted). Also you will need a change of footwear with you - cycling shoes would be unsafe in the terrain.
