Royal Mint & Mine Tour

*PLEASE NOTE-ONLINE BOOKING NOW AVAILABLE*

 

Royal Mint & Mine Experience Tour.

 

For a fun day out that the whole family will treasure, look no further than The Royal Mint Experience – one of Wales’ top tourist attractions.

A coin is much more than its face value. It is a year-dated piece of history that can reveal stories about the past. For more than a thousand years we have struck the coins of British monarchs, beginning with Alfred the Great and leading up to the present with His Majesty King Charles III. We have also developed the most visually  secure bullion coin in the world, celebrated anniversaries, achievements and people with commemorative coins and produced coins for many countries across the globe.

 

Experience  the Underground Tour  led by guides who have all worked the coal mines of the Rhondda Valleys and have tales to tell of life underground and the history of the Black Gold that was shipped from the Rhondda around the globe.  

During your visit, why not take a free tour around the exhibitions – did you know coal from the Rhondda was used to power the Titanic? Make a "pit" stop at Caffe Bracchi for a great range of hot and cold drinks, snacks, meals and sweet treats, including delicious cakes.
