Honister Slate Mine
For hundreds of years there has been a slate mine on this site. Now operational again after a long period of closure, the mine is also open for visitors. Offering a fascinating insight into this traditional Lakeland industry, the mine tour is worth the money alone for the experience of the craftsmanship and sheer hard graft that has gone into the miles of dry stone walled tunnels deep under Fleetwith Pike. |
