    My husband and I visited for the standard mine tour and there was only one other couple, which was great (though a bit sad that the place wasn't heaving, as I expected it would be on a sunny Sunday mo...  more »

    All has changed at Poldark no more arcades and kids games the new owners have started to turn it back into a Heritage Mining site again with museum of mining and more in depth tours.. prepare to get a bit wet wear walking boots and water proof jacket.. lt's a great little mine we really enjoyed our tour!!!

    Amazing historic place. Underground tour a must !!! Life for the miners and families si hard and tragic . Felt humbled viewing this work place. Wayne was passionate about the place and very informed about anything we asked of him. Better than any scary ride!! So much water the day we visited falling around us. Sad that prince charles takes 8k a year from this historic place!. Said i would write to him to the staff!!

    See the spots in the mine where the filming took place for both the 70's and recent productions as well as an informative tour underground about mining highly recommend this.

    Very interesting. So much potential to make this a much more informative visit. The shop/entrance feels like dumping ground for mine artefacts. I'm sure there is a wealth of interest waiting to be seen by /shown to visitors

    Not something I'd normally be interested in but Robert who led the tour made it really enjoyable and interesting.
