Tin Producer in Cornwall

Visit a working tin site where craftsmen dig ore, process it refine it and then create tin gifts and jewellery right in front of you. There’s an on site shop for you to purchase the items made on site.

Quote:

Most of our tin ore is gathered along the beautiful North Cornish Coastline and has been mined by the sea and made clean by the pounding of the waves along the shore. This type of alluvial tin mining is ancient and being a renewable source has continued for thousands of years.

We take what nature has provided and after arriving at our works it is processed, smelted, refined into ingots and cast into our unique range of giftware and jewellery;
