In this video we head to Wheal Un which sits on the northern outcrop of what was known as the Great Flat Lode.
This mine started around 1800 and worked for around 100 years before being shut down, partly due to the high maintenance costs including pumping the water, which has now flooded the majority of the workings.
Because most of the mine is below the water table there is only a few chambers which are dry and accessable. These do have some crystal clear water filled flooded stopes at the bottom which is the focal point for this video.
Thanks for watching and as ever never attempt to recreate this trip as it may end very badly for you. Mine exploring can be extremely dangerous even if you choose to stay dry.
Dont forget to subscribe and if you have enjoyed this video why not give it a like and a share.
Cheers and catch you soon for more videos.
