The 470ft deep (down to sea level) Vivian’s Shaft. It was mined in the 19th century and was the only access into the mines between 1987 and 1991.
The ‘open cast mine’ – it is however possible that this is the remains of a series of collapsed mine shafts.
Blocked passageways. Many such tunnels are to be seen around the self guided tour. They are yet to be excavated!
A very narrow tunnel near the mine entrance, presumably dug by children of around 5 years old.
Over the top of the capstone. The mines can be seen in the foreground and the cable cars to the top of Great Orme in the distance.
The stone remains of the cromlech sat on the side of it’s large mound.
This stone is an ideal landmark to follow, from The Cock Pit, to find the cairns.
The view on the path near to the Cockpit. It definitely makes the visit all the more rewarding. This view of the Lakeland fells is fantastic.
