1 Best Sight in The Valley, Virgin Gorda

A tall stone shaft silhouetted against the sky, a small stone structure that overlooks the sea, and a deep cistern are part of what was once a copper mine, now in ruins. Established 400 years ago, it was worked first by the Spanish, then by the English until the early 20th century. There's not too much in the way of interpretive signs at the site, but the location is beautiful.
