The National Coal Mining Museum for England is a place of considerable interest and a tourist attraction at Overton in Yorkshire.

It is situated in New Road.

The museum is based on two collieries, Caphouse and Hope, which are linked by a railway.

Former miners lead underground tours, looking at and explaining authentic coal workings.
