Unearth the Unexpected
We’re very sorry, but due to a minor technical issue with our back-up generator, our Underground Tours will be paused on Saturday 21 June & Sunday 22 June. If you’ve already purchased a ticket, please check your email for further details.
Discover 180 years of mining history. Find out about the people and communities at the heart of the industry and uncover how the miners lived at work and play. Explore acres of woodland, spotting plants and wildlife and find out how the excess water from the mine is cleaned and pumped back into a local river. Then let off some steam in our Adventure Playground!
