The Sygun Copper Mine has been a popular family tourist attraction since 1986. The Victorian copper mine had been in use for many years before it closed in 1903. Now, visitors can get up close and personal with the stunning underground mine and using the many available audio-visual tours. Found in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, visitors will not only see the stunning mines and learn about Wales’ industrial heritage, they can also participate in activities such as panning for gold and metal detecting for coins. Sygun is also home to a museum of antiquities, an art gallery with a collection of antique and 20th century art, and the Red Dragon Heritage Centre, which focuses on Welsh mythology and history.
