Glace Bay Miners Museum
The Glace Bay Miners Museum takes you back to the time when coal was the life-blood to Cape Breton industry. The highlight of a visit is the descent into the ground to an old coal mine, complete with terrifying descriptions of the hardships suffered underground by the miners. From the museum it’s also possible to walk along the coast round the headland, a trail which affords beautiful ocean views. The hourly #1 Bus service runs between Sydney and Glace Bay, though it is a 20 minute walk from the Glace Bay terminus to the museum.
