Review & FAQ:
The National Coal Mining Museum for England encompasses 45 acres close to Wakefield and Huddersfield. The fascinating museum and grounds offers free entry (but welcomes donations) which means you can spend a great family day here without stretching your budget. Besides going on the very popular underground mine tour, there are no fewer than 14 galleries and buildings to be explored. Former miners bring the underground tour to life, telling many tales of the trials and tribulations of being a coal miner through the ages. Other on-site activities include meeting the pit ponies, chatting to a blacksmith and exploring the extensive grounds and the children’s playground.
