Gold Mines

Welsh gold only occurs naturally in two distinct areas of Wales and is highly prized for its origin and scarcity. Set amid the wooded hillsides overlooking beautiful Cothi Valley is the Dolaucothi Gold Mines, the only known Roman gold mines in Britain 

Here’s your opportunity to pan for gold to see what little nuggets you can find or take self-guided audio or underground guided tour and if you feeling special you can shop for piece of Welsh Gold Jewellery 

The site also has several circular walks ranging from easy to longer more challenging hikes. The Dolaicothi Arms serves food and drinks.
