Geevor Tin Mine 
Description
Tin has been mined here for hundreds of years and Geevor was one of the last to close as foreign competition and falling prices made Cornish mining no longer a commercial prospect. The last mining was done on the site in 1986. The pumps were left running and the site kept maintained up until 1990 when it was finally abandoned to fall into disrepair. Today the site has reopened as a museum to mining in Cornwall. You can wander over large sections of the site seeing how miners spent their days. The mines that closed in 1990 stretched more than 1.5KM out to see, and when the pumps were turned off started to fill with water. However, some 18th century mines have been rediscovered and one of the highlights of the museum is a short tour around a small part.
