Overall Rating
Excellent
Summerlee is an excellent museum of industrial history in Coatbridge. On the site of the former Summerlee iron works the site makes for an excellent day out. The museum has both interior and exterior attractions with all but the coal mine accessable by wheelchair. The accessable toilets are of a very high standard. The museum has a resteraunt were you can have tea coffee and light lunches. The staff are very friendly and are always happy to help.

The paths are excellent although there are some cobbles and you may have to do a u turn at the canals as there are steps up to the bottom of the site.
