Gold in them there hills!

A visit to the Dolaucothi Gold Mines
A National trust property, so we entered using our membership.



Due to the very steep stair climb into the mine, which I would have struggled with, we staying in the grounds looking 
at the machinery and enjoying the views.



Chris explained how everything works, which was interesting.

Children were panning for gold in the educational part of the mine. In fact a very small amount of Welsh gold is still 
mined and items were for sale in the shop. A pair of earrings for about £250 were out of my price range.

Not sure I would have liked to be dropped down into the mine on this contraption
