We were blown away by bthe shear scale of the workings and the spaces created underground. Also marvelled at the engineering. Astonishing to think this was all done with hand tools until the 20th century.

The group was large - a combination of two groups and the guide could not be heard most of the time. Would have been better off with an audio guide.
