TRAIL QUIZZES
KINDLING’S TREASURE TRAIL
The mischievous creatures of Silver Mountain have been playing tricks on each other… they’ve hidden each other’s belongings around the site! Can you help the Creatures find them all?
THE MINER’S TRAIL
Start the historic Miner’s Trail at the Giant Waterwheel, from there you can work your way around the mine offices, explore the mine shafts and finish off in our mining exhibition. The Silver Mountain Experience is steeped in history, starting all the way back in 1742, and it is worth taking an afternoon to explore the natural beauty of the site as well as the painstakingly restored mining equipment.
THE NATURE TRAIL
There are many different species of animals and plants that live at Silver Mountain. Follow the Eye-Spy Nature Trail to see if you can spot them! Discover their Latin names, used far and wide across the world to identify the species, and complete the crossword quiz! (Quiz sheets available from reception).

Our guided tour, A Miner’s Life, immerses you in the original and rare setting of our 250+ year old mine, both above and below ground. Discover the fascinating facts of mining life in by-gone times as it would have been seen through the eyes of a miner.
Are you feeling brave?
