	The slate caverns make a fascinating day out for children, offering them an insight into how miners lived and worked years ago. There is a choice of two underground tours - the Deep Mine tour takes you below ground on the steepest passenger railway in Britain - or take the Miners' Tramway tour through the man-made caves. [Note that the tour trains are small and do not have pushchair access - but other areas are pushchair-accessible.] You can also visit the Victorian village, and get some "Victorian" coins to spend in the shops and pub. There is a choice of places to eat.
