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 al
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 surr
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

Worth the journey, we were there for the first tour and it was just the 2 of us. Really enjoyed it, full of information and insite to the local community and the beautiful surroundings were just dream like on a warm day.

Was there for the British and Scottish goldpanning championships and will be returning again soon to revisit the museum, library and mine. Great day out.
