History and context
The 2017 UNESCO inscription covers lead, silver and zinc mining together with its underground water-management system. It is more than a single visitor route. The Historic Silver Mine and Black Trout Adit offer ways to explore different parts of this heritage.
Take a closer look
Ask not only what was mined, but what made the work possible. Select a specific route with the operator and check its entrance and participation requirements. Do not assume a ticket for one site also covers the other.
Before your visit
Check hours, tickets, access, accessibility and guided-tour languages with the site’s custodian. The external sources below may not be available in your chosen language.
