Guided Longer Walk - Magpie Mine

Service Description

Join us on this walk where we head along the River Wye and start to climb up along narrow paths with sweeping views amongst the woods (It's quite steep to the right of us as we walk along here.) We then walk up the length of Deep Dale, join the road then cross fields to the remains of Magpie Mine. It was the last working lead mine in the Derbyshire orefield and is probably the best surviving example anywhere in the UK of a 19th century lead mine. After the mine we'll make our way through farmland above woodland before dropping down to river Wye once more and head back to the start.
