The Florence Mine is an old iron mine now used as a museum. The guided tours take 1 to 2 hours and covers the industrial an geological history of the mine. The paths are steep and stony, and the iron ore makes an excellent deep red dye which penerates the overalls provided. The guides are all employees of the mine and provide a good, down to earth trip without the rehearsed spiel of professional tour guides.

The mine is close to Whitehaven and Gosforth and well sign posted from the main road. It is not recommended for anyone who doesn't like confined spaces or who is not easily mobile.
