Silver Mountain Experience (Llywernog Mine)
Mwynglawdd Llywernog
A family attraction on a 19th-century silver-lead mine site, where you can go down into the mine and hear Welsh myths and legends.
Llywernog is one of many 19th-century silver-lead mines in the Ceredigion hills. It has been developed into the Silver Mountain Experience, which keeps the water wheel, mine shafts and ore-processing equipment, and offers guided tours down into the mine. Drawing on Welsh folklore, it has immersive ghost stories, treasure hunts and family activities, with special events for Halloween and other festivals. It opens seasonally, tickets are required, and some activities need advance booking. It lies about 2 km east of Bwlch Nant yr Arian, and can be visited on the same day as the red kite feeding and Devil's Bridge.
Opening hours
Approx. Easter to October, 10:00–17:00 (check official site)
