Magpie Mine & Monsal Head - Peak District, England - A Solo Hiking Vlog

Описание: Magpie Mine & Monsal Head - Peak District, England - A Solo Hiking Vlog

The atmospheric remains of Magpie Mine are one of the best places to visit in the Peak District and one of the top industrial heritage sites in Derbyshire. It was the last working lead mine in the Derbyshire orefield and is one of the best surviving examples in the UK of a 19th century lead mine. The mine has a fascinating history spanning more than 200 years of bonanzas and failures, of bitter disputes and fights resulting in the “murder” of three miners, and a Widows’ Curse that is said to remain to this day.

One of the most popular beauty spots in the Peak District, with absolutely fabulous dales scenery.

Strictly speaking not a village, Monsal Head and the beauties of the Dale and its' surroundings have been popular with generations of visitors. The combination of the winding river Wye in the steep sided dale, with the wooded slopes of Fin Cop and rocky outcrops of Hobbs House, together with the railway viaduct, make it one of the most photographed locations in England. There are visitor facilities at Monsal Head, with car parks, toilets, guest houses, hotel, pub, cafes and gift shop, it can be a busy place in the height of summer. The dale itself is for exploring on foot, with the Monsal Trail crossing the old railway viaduct providing a fantastic viewpoint above the riverside meadows.
