Tips

Fantastic place to visit. This is an amazing place by the National Trust. The information available to you via the guides is limitless. There are 2 mines to visit. The Roman and Victorian. Both require lots of walking up steep slopes and under wet conditions. Not ideal for everyone but great if you can access all the area.
