What visitors say
A fascinating and informative tour of these stone mines dating back to the Roman times. Our tour guide Steve was friendly, informative and hugely passionate about this amazing mine and we loved hearing about the ancient history and its more recent role as a film set! The caves are cold- a chilly 8 degrees so be sure to wear a coat and sensible shoes even on a hot day like today (25degrees outside!) It is a long tour of 90minutes and although fascinating for adults, younger children may struggle to maintain interest.
