The Poldark Mine just outside Helston in Cornwall is well worth a visit, and I can recommend the tour of the mine tunnels to anyone with even a vague interest in geology, mining or industrial history.
Their website has a detailed description of the mine workings, including a number of sketches showing the tunnel layout. To give them some additional context, I've overlaid them on the local landscape in Google Earth.
