Honister Slate Mine
Review
Honister Mine is a testament to Britain’s, let alone Cumbria’s geological wonders, offering a thrilling mix of adventure and history. Once a simple mine visit, it has evolved into one of the Lake District’s top activity hubs. Visitors can still explore the fascinating depths of the mine on their guided tour, but now, there’s so much more to experience. From scaling rock faces on the Via Ferrata to braving the awe-inspiring Infinity Bridge suspended high above the valley, adrenaline seekers will be in their element. For those who love water-based adventures, canyoning provides an exhilarating way to explore the landscape. Owners Prentice and his mum, Janice Wilkinson, have transformed this attraction into an unmissable experience, seamlessly blending pure adventure with heritage. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or a history buff, Honister Mine offers something for everyone. Once you visit, you’ll find yourself planning your return, it’s just that kind of place!
