点评:We visit Cornwall a few times a year but had never been to Geevor before - we are so glad we decided to visit! We went during the Easter break as a family of 4, including our two boys aged 13 and 11, who enjoyed it as much as we did!
Our favourite part of the visit was the incredible talk given by ex-miner Vaughan, in the emotive setting of ‘The Dry’. These locker and shower rooms have been left exactly as they were the day the mine closed, with personal items, boots and clothes left in place. Vaughan was a captivating speaker and I found the whole experience so moving (especially being half Cornish myself). We could have listened to his stories all day quite honestly!
Other highlights included the walk through the underground mine, exploring the relics and artefacts in the many buildings, the Hard Rock Museum and panning for ‘gems’ (particularly enjoyed by our youngest).
I would encourage anyone, of any age, to visit and support this historic site, it really is a Cornish gem.
翻译:我们每年都会去康沃尔郡几次,但之前从未去过吉沃矿——我们非常庆幸这次决定去看看!复活节假期期间,我们一家四口,包括我们13岁和11岁的两个儿子,一起去了吉沃矿,他们和我们一样玩得非常开心!
我们最喜欢的部分是前矿工沃恩在“干涸矿井”里令人动容的演讲。这些更衣室和淋浴间都保持着矿井关闭时的原样,里面甚至还留着个人物品、靴子和衣服。沃恩的演讲引人入胜,整个过程让我深受感动(尤其是我自己也有一半康沃尔血统)。说实话,我们真想听他讲一整天的故事!
其他亮点包括:参观地下矿井、探索众多建筑中的遗迹和文物、参观硬岩博物馆以及淘金(我们最小的孩子尤其喜欢)。
我鼓励所有年龄段的人都去参观并支持这个历史遗址,它真的是康沃尔郡的一颗璀璨明珠。
