Information - Ashgill Force Waterfall Mine

[NCore80]

Hi All;

Last year I came across an interesting looking place which looks to have an old mine adit, it was while we were visiting Ashgill Force waterfall, I would have loved to have ventured inside since the gated entrance pivots on a hinge in the middle which makes it readily accessible but unfortunately I only had my phone torch which was nowhere near good enough to see inside, another unfortunate is that I was on holiday there so don't frequent the area very often.

Does anyone have this on their radar for a visit or know any more information?

You couldn't have come up with a good pun? 28yardslater?

Known as Ashgill Field Lead mine. Looks like a small level with most of the workings now underwater.

There were rumours years ago of a level entered by explorers gained by moving boulders virtually under the falls, in which they found parts of a human skeleton. Very likely nonsense, but....
There is the famous "Buckden Bill" and another found in Pantywrach, north Wales of a chap who had disappeared 4 years earlier.

There is a level to the right of the falls behind a mass of fallen boulders, this level predates the road bridge.

Not very mine related but It sounds the perfect place for some ancient burial. Hidden in a tomb behind a waterfall.
