Visit to a Salt Mine

Friday 02 September 2016

We had a quiet morning with a visit to the museum to learn about the very long history of salt mining in the district followed by an extended visit to the salt mine in the afternoon. We were lucky enough to be here on Friday when the prehistoric salt mine tour to the archaeological diggings is available. It ran for an extended 4 hours and went to places the normal tourist tours don’t go. Some rock salt samples may have also made their way into our pack.
