Probably the most fascinating thing to children is the underground experience. As well as being adventurous it can also teach them about the way their ancestors lived. In many cases they could easily have been working down a mine at their age 150 years ago. There is a mine trail leaflet available for children to work their way around the surface buildings answering questions.   All of the buildings have been made safe.
