This place is stewing in history. There are many info boards along the walk, explaining the process of how the mines operated, and with mines as intact as they are it is easy to imagine how it once was. The running water makes for a relaxing time as you walk along. Make sure to look out for small lizards, butterflies and wildlife. We even found a turtle!
