You experience the "mineshop" where miners lived for the week and slept three or four to a bed. You work as a "washerboy" separating lead ore from waste, but above all, Killhope's award wining mine tour is unique. From the moment you put on our hard hats, cap lamps and wellingtons, this part of your visit becomes an adventure! Our guides take you plodging though the water of the tunnel to marvel at what the miners achieved deep underground. The highlight is when you come face to face with an underground waterwheel turning in its own cavern.
You will never forget a trip down the mine.
