What visitors say
Amazing experience! What a spectacular place! If this was in Greece or Turkey it would be on the UNESCO list. A world class site. If you have any interest in prehistoric history this is an absolute must visit. Very friendly staff happy to discuss history with you, lovely coffee hut and gift shop.

Wow very impressive. Definitely worth a visit, also worth it on a hot summer's day to cool down. The lady and gentleman on the ticket and shop/drink desk were very nice. The area has been well laid out with nice a nice bridge outside and nice steps throughout

A really well run attraction with lots of things to see and do. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the gift shop and 2nd hand bookshop were excellent. The mines themselves have some tight passages but even I (6'5" 160kg) managed to get through without much difficulty. All in all, well worth visiting.

Such an interesting place to visit, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, the way the trail was laid out was very easy to follow and as we came on a weekday it was very quiet so we could take our time. It didn’t take too long to walk the entire thing but that doesn’t take away from how interesting and good of an experience we had. Would really recommend!!
