One of the entrances to the coal mine on the valley floor, now refurbished with dioramas and recorded commentary. Kind of interesting, but not too exciting.

The lower platform. About 30 years after the mines closed, the inclined railway was re-opened as a tourist attraction.

They are careful to minimise impact on the natural environment... lots of signs to not touch any vegetation.
