You can have a great day out at Killhope Lead Mining Centre 8 miles west of the cottage. Take a trip into the mine, see how the miners lived, search for minerals on the washing floor. Killhope is an award-winning museum where you can learn all about how lead ore was mined and processed, and how the miners lived and worked in the 18th and 19th centuries. Guided visits into the mine give an insight into the dangerous conditions experienced by lead miners. |
