National Coal Mining Museum

Underground Tour - With a coal miner as their guide, pupils ride the cage 140 metres underground to visit authentic pit workings.

The Museum has many original colliery buildings that are open to the public. Sights, sounds and smells combine to give each building its own unique atmosphere. The galleries and exhibition spaces show the history of coal mining and coalmining communities in England and provide an exciting learning experience with interactive audiovisual displays.

Hope Pit is a smaller, nineteenth-century mine complex on the main Museum site. The interactive displays and multimedia science exhibits explore science concepts through mining history and technology. Explore the half-mile trail around the colliery site through mature, mixed woodland. The trail finishes at Hope Pit, where an innovative system of reed beds and settling ponds cleans the dirty water pumped from underground.
