Find out about the story of coal and how it changed our nation forever. Unearth the stories of life as a coal miner and what it was like to live in a mining community. Every tour ‘darn pit’ is led by an ex-miner with loads of experience, he’ll take you 140m underground through 180 years of mining. In the galleries you will see the evolution of the mines and their communities. Investigate the mechanical workings of the pit through interactive models and the giant machinery. Then relax and reflect in the Miners’ Memorial Garden. Listen to the birds sing as you walk through woods and reed beds that help clean the mine water. Meet our ponies and horse then let off steam in the Adventure Playground.
