Temple Mine

The Peak District Mining Museum and Temple Mine are related attractions either side of the road, with a great combo ticket discount scheme to encourage you to visit both. Which you should!

The Temple Mine is a still fully operational lead and fluorspar mine from the 1920s and 50s plus a hand mine section some 200 years old, which you and the kids can explore together by guided tour. Even the little touches hard hats for tour goers add to the occasion for kids, but wait until they get to pan for gold and take home what they find! (Mum's the word, but it won't be gold.)
