Dark, chilly, wet and amazing! We viewed the poor working conditions of the miners and saw how lead was mounted. And looked at beautiful mineral formations which the lead deposits had left behind

Very interesting day. Our guide, I think his name Josh was very informative and answered all our questions. Would definitely recommend a trip here. Hopefully they will be able to raise more funds to be able to further excavate

Davie was so enthusiastic and was great fun taking us deep into the cave labyrinth. An ex-Seaman, he now focusses on improving and clearing any old blocked areas of this fascinating underground complex. The library is also one of the most interesting I have come across. Well worth a visit.

Guide had such a broad accent we couldn’t understand what he was saying and didn’t interact with customers at all
Not even hello just walked off leaving us to follow
He seemed to be knowledgeable but we got very little from him.
Museum display seems very good but lacking labels an all geological specimens.
In conclusion £ 44:00 for a couple is excessive and although tickets time valid there is no point visiting again.

Visited from Yorkshire just to take my son here for the mining tour and gold panning. I visited 20year ago and it was really good, we visited the mines, cottages, library and museum. 20year later I paid £22 for an adult to see mine again, library and museum....no cottages. The mine tour last time was very exciting, this time it was boring, main focus was on the lead vein. Would have loved to hear about the miners, stories of them. My son was so excited at the gold panning, slot was for 2.30pm, guy arrived from his break at 2.35pm, no problem with that as everyone's entitled to a break but we was done by 2.50pm (if that) 15 or so mins for £6.50. The guy (elderly bloke) seemed to rush us. Once we got our certificate we noticed the guy was sat outside having a cigarette. So that was reason for rush, surely that should have been taken on his break. 15mins at £6.50 each was an absolute rip off. I was expecting 30mins not 15mins.

Initially we weren't sure what to expect but booked a tour of the mine/museum and we were not dissappointed in the least, not just the trip down into a section of the mine but also the libray and it's stories and then into the nicely laid out museum all combined to provide a great insight into the conditions of what it must have been like to work & live within this type of mine and small townland, our guide - Davie, had such an indepth of knowledge and clearly infectious love of the mine and it's surrounding history you would be hard pushed not to find the whole experince of interest. He almost brought the past alive with his talks of who and when and how they lived, it really painted a picture in the mind. the mine, the library and the museum were worht the visit and although we didn't partake of the chance to "pan for gold" the youngsters who did were clearly impresssed with the experience. Would reccommend the museum if you're within the area, both educational and something that will stick in the memory for some time.

Mine visit and tour. First class guides. Unique tour of the old lateral mine workings takes you deep into hillside. Museum and library fascinating. Allow half a day at least if you also want to walk the village.

Having been to this museum several times in the past I was horrified to find the entry prices have gone up so much!
I fully understand that times are hard but who ever decided that the entry price should be over £20 per person must live in cloud cuckoo land. The staff were clearly embarrassed when they said the price to me
The claim that the ticket was valid all season is just a gimmick as there is not enough to see here more than once in a year and it is not even fully open with "the cottages" being closed for the foreseeable future.
I was told before my visit by a friend that the museum entry fee was now very expensive but I didn't check up before I left home, a big mistake!

Hi
How long does the trip round the mone take ... and more importantly how long is the walk, and what is the vertical descent climb ?

Agree with previous respondents. Allow about 3 hours for mine/cottages/library. The walk down to the mine is quite gentle. Being a drift mine the actual visit in the "drift" is more or less flat but one is subject to being dripped on, so an anorak is more or less a must. The miners cottages are close by. The library is a bit uphill but don't miss it...its one of the earliest subscription libraries in the world and the tour guide(s) are really well informed about how it all worked for the subscribers...a bit of an eye-opener by todays standards! The museum is by the reception and gives a good overview of local miningactivities and the various processes involved. Its a great museum but watch opening hours now...I think it ceases operation for the season shortly...its NOT open year-round. I did not go on a week-end so can not comment on the small narrow gauge railway that I believe runs most week-ends nearby...and the views from it a likely to be stunning if the weather is good.
