Overview

There will be a short ramble following the legend of the wizard in the morning followed by a trip into Engine Vein Mine in the afternoon.   There is no crawling just a couple of low sections where you have to stoop. You will see all phases of mining from Bronze Age to Victorian. 

PRE-BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE AFTERNOON TRIP DOWN THE MINE AS SPACES ARE STRICTLY LIMITED.  Please contact the walk leader if you would like to book a place.  (Elaine T - 07801 632743)
