I went here with my partner when we were in Cornwall on a mini break, we drove over an hour for it as my partner was really wanting to go, me not so much i thought.
We got there and it just looked like a big car park, but soon went into the entrance and got our hard hats!
The whole site has the most amazing view out on to the sea which was fantastic. The entry fee was minimal and the site was huge to look around and had some great real life rooms. They feel as if the miners were there just yesterday.
We went down for the mine tour and was greeted by a friendly chap. He showed us around the tin extracting rooms above ground level and also showed us how it was done, things are still working even though it was closed many years ago.
Then it was time to go underground!. We donned our overcoats and headed for the entrance.
All along the tour guide was the most knowledgeable person i have ever met.
The mine tour was incredible, really making you think about what the conditions were like, all along learning about the miners themselves etc.
My mind was changed after this day out about going to visit these sorts of things and i can honestly say a great day out, the work the staff do there is fantastic.
A great day out for all of the family!
