An excellent experience of a rare Welsh gold mine. The are 3 different based on your mobility, and interest in Victorian or Roman history. The guide Nevil is exceptional and really engages people of all ages. The wider mining buildings on display show a remarkable age of engineering. A one of a kind experience! It's highly recommended. Missed the but a qr scan trail was brilliant. 2 to 3 min clips whilst you're stood in an area. Historically important site, pre roman, roman and victorian. Would like to go on a another day. £6 to get in, with out person tour. Toilets and hot drinks Almost missed this treasure on our trip to Llandovery. Easy to get to on the A482, well signposted and owned by the National Trust - a membership would be a good idea! The site itself is HUGE, loads of walks and views to take in! The main opencast site has several buildings with factual signs dotted everywhere The winding room with the shaft cage is especially interesting! We attended both mine tours, Victorian and Roman. I simply cannot express how incredible our guides were. Not only are they hilarious and informative, but they are also obviously extremely dedicated to the history of the site itself. I highly recommend this as a day out, especially with children - the gold panning was also very fun! Big shout out to our guides Nevile and Ed! - side note - if it's your birthday (or in my case the day before) and you do the Victorian tour, Nevile will let you blow out the candle and make the other tourers sing Happy Birthday to you in the dark! Made my day! Fantastic day spent at Dolaucothi. I came here 30yrs ago when I was a kid and enjoyed it so much I wanted to bring my family back to experience it again with me. We did both guided of the Victorian and Roman mines with Neville and Eddie, they were both fantastic guides. Myself and my youngest son went for a short trip through Wales and made a pitstop here! We are National Trust members so we got in for free! There was free parking and it was amazing!!! Honestly the was incredible 👌👍🙏 we had a fabulous time! We went on the Victorian and it was really good 👍 there was another dude on our that did both that day, we couldn't because it was fully booked but he said he preferred the Victorian one so that was a win! Sure they are both fab though! 👍💯 Lastly BOOK IN ADVANCE!!!! We did but some other people didn't and got turned away! Definitely book it! Very busy! Im not a NT member and I found the good value for money. It is a small location, not an extensive set of tunnels to explore but the are well led, informative and fun. Its a super location with other walks also available from the same area. Essential to book a rather than just turn up, but I'd recommend it to visitors or locals looking for a good half day activity. We did the Roman today . Nevil, our guide, was brilliant. Really captured your attention with his knowledge and story telling . It is worth booking a as you'll get more out of it. There is no cafe but you can make yourself a brew with a donation. The kids also liked Steve on Reception. All rather entertaining for them. We've been in Wales this week and both children said this place was the best part of their trip so thanks to staff there. Fascinating visit, make sure you book one of the guided on the NT website. We went on a guided of the Roman gold mines with Nivil, who gave an excellent, informative tour. We then had a lovely walk around the estate on a well signed path. Hopefully we will be back soon to do the Victorian gold mine tour, and to do one of the longer walks.
