Where to see the Mine Traveller
The launch of the Mine & Yours activity guide last year was marked by the first appearance of the World Heritage Site ‘Mine Traveller’, (above right) an imaginative sound and light experience giving a flavour of life underground in a working tin mine. Please keep checking out this website for news of where next to catch the Mine Traveller in your area and your chance to discover and relate to the intriguing story of how Cornish Mining shaped our world.
