The Main Event

The Zip World Deep Mine Tour, takes you on an underground adventure, 500 feet below the surface into the heart of the historic Llechwedd Deep Mine in Wales. Perfect for history buffs, adventure seekers, or anyone loves exploring, this tour offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of slate mining.

Your experience begins at reception, where you’ll be directed to the cable railway. After grabbing your helmet and meeting your expert guide, you’ll hop aboard the big yellow underground train for a 90-second journey down into the mine. Don’t worry, it’s a smooth ride, and there’s plenty of space for up to four people in each compartment.

Once underground, you’ll be guided through chambers and tunnels that tell the story of the mine’s past, the lives of the workers, and the innovative techniques used in slate mining. Your guide will share fascinating facts and stories as you explore, and you’ll even see original mining equipment up close, with demonstrations of how they were once used.

The real highlight of the tour is the awe-inspiring underground lake, a breathtaking sight that adds an extra layer of magic to the experience. With ample time to ask questions, you’ll truly feel immersed in the history and beauty of this underground world.

After at least an hour of exploring, you’ll board the train once more for your ascent back to daylight. Once back above ground, you can drop off your helmet and continue your adventure at Zip World Llechwedd, where there are even more activities to enjoy.

This one-of-a-kind experience makes an unforgettable gift, combining history, adventure, and a touch of the extraordinary, a perfect present for anyone who loves a little bit of magic beneath their feet!
