We chose not to go down into the mine, its pretty wet down there at the moment and two of us weren't wearing the correct footwear. I wasn't feeling the confined space thing either haha but the test of the tour was lovely.
All guides are lovely and friendly as is the girl on the tea room which was also a lovely wee place.

We visited with our 7 year old. Fantastic day out. Tour guides are so knowledgeable.
We had fun going down into the mine for around 30-40 minutes then a short walk to the miners cottages to see how the minors lived. Then a walk up a fairly steep hill to the library.
The mine sits in beautiful surroundings well worth a wonder round to take in the sights. Words do not do the surrounding area justice just stunning.

Did this as a spur of the moment trip with the kids on the way back from York. Worth every penny. Cost half the price of similar things in york but so much more time for your booking. Guides were both friendly and very knowledgeable. Cafe was great and very reasonably priced. We expected to spend 2 hours. Ended up there 3. But could of stayed longer if we had the time. All ages enjoyed it. Would recommend to anyone for something different to do.
