A collection of walks, discoveries, insights and pictures of exploring Dartmoor National Park

Tin Mine Map

This post shows the locations on a simplified map of the major Dartmoor Tin Mines (and in some cases just outside). Some of the mines will, of course would have been prospecting for more that just tin and have been included here for completeness.

The post also contains a table with all the 91 mines and there approx. 6 figure National Grid Reference. Where a mine appears on the Dartmoor Explorations website a hyperlink has been created to take the reader straight to the relevant post.

The author acknowledges the Dartmoor Tinworking Research Group (DTRG) for some of the information contained here. Also thanks to Dartmoor Chris for supplying the original map, which has been added to by the author.

Map
Simplified map showing the approx. locations of 91 mines on and around Dartmoor. The list is not quite exhaustive as some mines are known in name only and can only be guessed as to their orignal location. Also, some mine have been totally obliterated in modern times (e.g Original Hemerdon Mine) – CLICK TO EXPAND PICTURE
