Description

Lead and Silver ores were mined here during the 17th to 19th centuries. The tourist route takes you on a journey 40m under the ground along a 1700m long passage which includes a 270m boat ride. On the surface there is an interesting collection of old mining machinery and brightly painted old railway engines which one website describes as "garish colours".
