- roryirvine 1y agoYeah, Cornwall was most famous for its tin, but there was a reasonable amount of copper too - particularly in the Carnon and Tamar valleys. There were also very productive copper mines around Great Orme in North Wales, which would have only been a couple of days' travel by boat and were frequently visited as part of the same Atlantic Bronze Age trade routes as Cornish tin.
