Sygun Copper Mine

“A lovely little little experience with nice coffee shop, good parking and reasonably priced. It cost £34 for 2 adults and 2 kids August 2026. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is a self guided tour in an enclosed mine with lots of steps so just be aware of what to expect. The website and staff allow dogs but with a warning that some dogs dont like the grated stairs. I brought my dog and ended up carrying her up most of the stairs so I would say this tour isn't suitable for dogs. They are quite relaxed with their parking so we chose to walk into Beddgelert and leave the car there. This is about a 30 minute walk but saved trying to find a spot in the busy village. If you're in the area I would recommend this tour. If you have a dog I would suggest splitting up your party and going in separately. It doesn't take long so that's better than the dog struggling on the stairs.”

“What a great place. Throughout the mine there are boards with information on and areas where you can listen to information about the history and geological structure of the mine. Some beautiful areas in there to look at. Plus the view from the exit of the mine, wow! Also for children there is a nice play area, and you can have a go a panning for gold (fools) and/or metal detecting (and extra fee, but a great price and really good fun). They have a lovely shop with a range of rocks and other things you can buy. Plus a nice cafe, that serves drinks, pastries and small snacks. The view from the cafe is beautiful. Points to note, the floor of the mine is wet, so wear sensible shoes. There are some steep metal stairs, about 200, but they are safe.”

“A really interesting self-guided tour around the old mine with the added bonus of the steps out taking care of your days cardio, with fabulous views to greet you when you emerge! Friendly staff in the cafe and gift shop made me feel welcome even though I was the only one there at the time and I hung around to enjoy a cappucino and sausage roll to finish off the morning. Recommended for a morning or afternoon out and they offer discount for locals too 🙂”
