An exciting place to visit for all ages. Authentic. Feels like we've stepped back in time to a 'raw' age of survival, struggle and power. The storytellers are so good with their history and information about iron ore mining in North Yorkshire/former Cleveland. The shop is well stocked, there's a good day out here. I like the 12 month any return offer in the admission ticket.

We popped in on a whim after seeing a leaflet in the hotel. The musuem aspect was fairly compact but had some interesting information in, however the real highlight was the guided tour. Our guide, Mike, was a wealth of information and the tour was an impressive length given the actual site limitations. Its clearly a passion of all the staff at site and the whole staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. A great visit

Even though I'd tried all evening to get a ticket online, I couldn't. (Squiggly circle every time payment meant t be going through.) We ended up coming anyway and were fantastically taken on an impromptu extra tour because of this. Nick is a fantastic guide and I wish him, and his parents, well. We loved the hand knitted dolls n frog, on the tour, that had been made by one of the ladies. My daughter had also been good n was not thrown down the mineshaft. 😁😉🤣

A wonderful explanation and display in the main museum which clearly explained the history, geology and social impact of the ironstone seams that sit below this fascinating area. The tour was excellent and the museum shop was well stocked. The cafe nearby was also well worth a visit. It helps to know the tour times in advance.

First visit to Skinningrove and the Land of Iron museum. Really good museum and the guided tour was most interesting and enlivend by Adele. A most enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide and caver who obviously has some mole in her DNA! Thoroughly recommended for a visit. Free parking and a very good bar restaurant/bar in the car park. Also as a bonus a really beautiful beach for a walk after a decent lunch.

Brilliant place to visit and not expensive. No real 'underground ' as it's all closed off, but that makes it non-scary for those that aren't so keen on dark places. The volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable and bring it to life with their excellent storytelling. The museum displays are great too. Book a tour online prior to make the most of your visit.

We visited this fabulous museum on a Saturday morning. We booked online for 1030am for 2 adults and 2 children. We arrived and 5 minutes after arrival, a tour was starting. We put on our hard hats and off we went. It was absolutely brilliant. The volunteer tour guide was so knowledgeable, able to answer every question asked and took us on a journey that showed us as close as he could what life would have been like working down an iron stone mine. The museum is lovely and has lots of interesting artifacts to see and learn about. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning at Land of Iron.

Really good guided tour of a disused mine, which explained how iron ore was mined and extracted. Excellent guide, knowledgeable, patient, clear and friendly. The 4 of us really enjoyed it. The tour takes about an hour, and only takes a small group (up to 12?) so best to book or reserve in advance. The entrance gives fee gives you a pass for a whole year!

Interesting history of ironstone mining in the area, lottery funded superb newish building. Staff were friendly and informed and the guided tour was very good. Entrance gives you an annual pass .

Well worth a visit. You can buy tickets in advance, but no need to. Just a bit of a wait to join guided tour that takes you underground. No escaping wearing a hard hat. Interesting talk, especially if you have a connection to the mine & it's history, like we had. Great research team in the museum, if you're looking for family history of anyone that worked there. Very helpful and well worth the money. Plus your ticket lasts for multiple visits for 12 months. Ample parking and a sizeable, affordable cafe on the site of the old stables. Skinningrove itself has a lovely beach to walk along and a decent fish & chip shop.
