CARRS MINE TRIPS
Our Carrs Mine trips take about 90 minutes. We provide lamps and helmets. We suggest that you wear outdoor clothing and footwear. The temperature underground is around 8C. The mine is usually dry underfoot, but may be a little muddy in places. We welcome all children who can walk and climb stairs – we don’t take babes in arms underground.
We offer Carrs Mine trips from April to October each year.
We are a charity with a 100% volunteer team. We ask for a donation for mine trips of £10 for adults and £5 for children.

ORGANISED GROUP VISITS
The Society can also arrange custom group visits to Carrs Tourist Mine throughout most of the year, except for the months of July and August
A minimum of eight people and a donation of £100 is needed to confirm a booking for an organised group visit, subject to a volunteer guide being available. To discuss a date, please either send us an email – admin(at)nentheadmines.com or phone 07494 497868. We usually need two weeks notice of your proposed date.
We do not offer Carrs Mine tours from November through to late March. We carry out mine maintenance during this period.

We are hosting visits by the Environment Agency and Coal Authority on 10th,12th,16th and 17th of March – weather permitting. Specialists will be examining the water leats and reservoir on our site, including the ones leased by the Hydro company.
They may be using ground penetrating radar to try and discover whether there are any hidden features on the site.
The visitors will also be on land owned by Weardale Estates.
