Excellent museum depicting the working environment of miners during the Woodhorn mine days. Small children's play area with limited seating and a pleasant cafe with a few menu cold choices. Eat in or outside.
A delightful day out at the ex-coal mine museum with so much to see of our now, sadly dead heritage.
Not only wile away with cuppa & nibbles after browsing exhibits
take ride on the 2ft gauge railway around the "lake" edge,or even walk the whole circumference,with viewin g seats to rest on, the circa 2 mile pathed walk.
Very interesting to visit. Plenty of different exhibitions to see. Cafe on site. Plenty of parking. Entrance ticket allows revisit for 1 year
A historic former 19th-century coal mine that is now a museum and heritage centre for art and local historic relics.
A self-guided walk around the outdoor site with information boards explaining the buildings' use.
The cutter is a modern building that houses the local archive, cafe, and an excellent interactive exhibition showcasing life as a miner up until the mine's closure.
Really enjoyed the museum. Sensible price to enter, £13 for two. Interesting info and time warp back to points in time like miners strike etc. Nice play area for kids as well as nice cafe we thought reasonably priced.
Interesting place to visit. Knowledgeable friendly staff.
All nice and flat. Superb coffee shop/café.
All up well worth the entrance, which is valid for a year.
Excellent source of mining history.. Well laid out and staff were so good with the knowledge. Lovely and friendly people..love you accent. The artwork was amazing. Showed some of life as a miner. Brave men.
My maternal grandfather was one.
A good insight of working conditions for miners.
My day was a fitter at a mine in Yorkshire Si it was of interest to me, never having seen the working parts of a mine.
The coffee in the cafe was good too.
Great place to spend an afternoon for a brief introction to the life of the local mining community and an insight into how the "pit" works.
Really interesting, great that the North East Mining industry has been kept and educating younger generations, I important. Dog friendly, except in cafe and new building Food good. Pat once, annual pass, picnic area. Highly recommend.
