One of the mines, Greenwell’s Pit, has been mapped by laser to allow visitors to “fly” in virtual reality over the surface and along the shafts and galleries. It should be in place next year as part of the overhaul of the visitor facilities at the site.
The mine scanned is one that isn’t open to the public normally, so it’ll give everyone a new view of the site, not just benefitting people that can’t shimmy down ladders.
