About Blue Hills Tin
Blue Hills Tin provides a fascinating insight into Cornwall's ancient tin mining industry. Known as alluvial mining since it involves no digging, it is the most ancient and environmentally-friendly way of manufacturing the metal. The Wills Family who own the site have been doing so since the 1960s. They even have special permission from the Duchy of Cornwall - none other than the Princes of Wales – to collect their metal deposits and bring it to their in-house craftsmen for its conversion from the ordinary and every day to the extraordinary. Blue Hills Tin is open to visitors from May until October each year. (St Agnes, England)
