There is a guide on hand to take you around, but there are plenty of information boards at various sites of interest. The falls are quite amazing, but the upper deck was closed off due to vandalism. Perhaps there is no money left in the Trust for repairs to be carried out. Would have loved to have seen the constructions above and also the waterfall in its full glory. I still enjoyed, but if you do intend to go, you can extend your walk by visiting the twin viaducts opposite and Tenants Canal both old and newer Locks. · via Google [Christopher Kumaran](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100138253380219425817/reviews) ★★★★★ I wanted to go here a few years ago but it was closed, and since then I travelled the world. I came back and noticed it was open this time and decided to explore. It’s a very interesting place. You can learn about the history of the mines here. There are ruins, a tin mill, and waterfall. · via Google [Jeremy James](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110543043596468578846/reviews) ★★★★★ This is a small site, but really interesting and a lovely place - painted by several 19th. C. Artists. The powerful waterful has been used to grind corn, roll tin-plate, and now generate electricity. Good parking across the road, interesting education room, sadly not the usual NT cafe, so take your own provisions. · via Google [Ollie Fitton-Cook](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109201603382553758807/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely little distraction if you are in the area on the opening days, a ruined industrial site set in a paradisical small valley with waterfalls. An interesting insight into the history of the area. Very friendly staff. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x486e5c592d3280f9:0x212dd1fc052eff15!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this industrial heritage site features fascinating ruins, a tin mill, and a powerful waterfall, with informative displays and activities for children.
