Lovely little trip to the Sygun Copper Mine. Very interesting self guided tour up and through the mountain. Gives you a good insight into what life would have been like for the miners in such cramped and horendous working conditions. On arrival, head to the visitors' centre to pay and grab your hard hats (you'll need them!). There are a lot of metal steps inside and quite dark passages, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with mobility issues. They've got a little museum and cafe at the visitors centre to look around. The tour will take about 40-60minutes. You can extend your day by going for walks from the centre and there's a play area for the kids.

Great morning spent here. Kids loved the self guided tour as did us adults. The staff were super friendly and we enjoyed a spot of metal detecting afterwards! There's a play area out the front and a reasonably priced cafe. We walked from Beddgelert, it's a lovely walk and continued to the lake, which is beautiful.

Wasn't expecting it will be located in such lush green and so much scenic area. An atmospheric mine that's very interesting. Ley me make your mind clear that it was a real copper mine so don't dream you'll get lifts, excelators or carpet floor inside. It's real with reality so wear strong footwear and waterproof jacket to keep yourself safe from wet under foot and chilly. To get from the entrance to the top of the mine is 186 steps. So get breaks during stepping up. A cup of tea in the modern cafe was very relaxing after the experience. Beautiful views from the top of the mine even best area for a walk around the mine

Visited today and it was very busy. The tickets are purchased in a small building which also served as the cafe, gift shop and museum. It was a disorganised mess! This small space was packed with a mixture of people who wanted to buy tickets, look in the gift shop and order food to eat in a small seating area. After purchasing your tickets you are directed over to the a corner where you had to fight for a wet, dirty and broken helmet before cleaning and disinfecting it yourself. The staff here looked flustered and I was unfortunate enough to be served by an irritated staff member at the cafe who was abrupt and unfriendly in his manner. Despite the disorganised start, the self guided tour itself was enjoyable, but a little short. Walking through the mine was an interesting experience and the views at the end were stunning! There is an option to walk around the lake after the mine but we left to visit the quaint village of Beddgelert of which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Cracking trip to Sygun Copper Mine. The tour is self guided so you can pace your visit to suit your needs. Worth noting it is dog friendly so the pooches can join you on the overground and underground sections. Ample parking nearby and free.

Would definitely recommend! The self guided mine tour is excellent and definitely worth the money. There was 4 of us in total, 2 adults and 2 young children and we all equally enjoyed it. There are commentaries scattered throughout the mine tour giving information on the history of the mine, there is plenty to see whilst doing the tour as well. It took us around 40 minutes from start to finish. We also enjoyed doing the gold panning and metal detecting for only PS3 each! The gift shop was wonderful, it was very well stocked and had some beautiful pieces (if you're into crystals it is a must see). The museum was very interesting to look round and had a variety of different historic finds. Overall very pleased with our experience at the mine and would definitely recommend.
