Description
Located in Pendeen on the dramatic north Cornish coastline, Geevor Tin Mine is one of the largest preserved mine sites in the country.
Geevor was formerly known as North Levant. There has been a mine of some sort on this particular stretch of north Penwith coast from at least the early part of the eighteenth century.
One of the last working tin mines in Cornwall, Geevor closed in 1990. Most of the site and machinery are still intact and the site has now been turned into a museum. Housed in two acres of listed buildings, Geevor's collections and guides bring the story of Cornwall's rich industrial past to life.
