If you're into local history, the museums are well worth a visit. All situated within a few miles of each other. Theres so much to see and do you'll have to come back. The family passes are well worth the money, we have been about 5 times over the last 12 months! More

Wonderful place, especially for children. So much enthusiasm shown by the kids and they were so good at solving problems. Particularly enjoyed the Core art installation by Kurt Henschlagen and made us want to learn more about him More

Adult and child friendly museum with an amazing and huge model of the gorge, with lots of information. Worth doing this last, so you get to relate what you see here to the actual places. Part of the passport scheme, so inexpensive to visit More

I love anything historical and because it is on the doorstep, makes it easily accessible via a lovely rural journey. A way of touching the industrial past. More

This year I took my son there, found that due to health and safety regulations there were many parts we could no longer go to as they were fenced off, but there were many more museums. Enginuity has lots of gadgets to keep the children occupied, the museums have a... More

Much of the information was repeated in the various museums, but it is an interesting view of what the workers endured to make a living. Very clever use of the works and the buildings. More
