If you're in the area, be sure to plan at least an hour. Parking is free. It feels like you're on another planet. The trails are very easy, you can visit the ruins of the windmill, and it's simply wonderful. Highly recommended, even with a dog.

Almost like walking on the moon - but then in all shades of yellow and orange.

Inside is some information on the history of the mine and an interesting overview map of the old mine tunnels.

What a surreal place to be at - partly an industrial mining tristesse, but then also an amazing range of colours in the sunset worth seeing.

The ruins are fenced and not directly accessible (probably more to keep the sheep out), but they put up some benches nearby for a break with a view over the sea.

Great lost place to explore. With a bit of industrial background you can easily decipher the former function of the buildings. Some installations are left and get more and more rusty. The view over the bay is nice and the grassfield is inviting for a picknic (if not already occupied).

A ruin of brick and concrete - nothing left of the coronation glory here.
