Ladies Only: Exploring the Grassington Moor Lead mines.
This is a circular walk of about 7 miles on Grassington Moor where we will step back in time and discover and explore the remains of the intensive lead mines from the 16th century onwards. We will come across old mine workings, a powder house and the impressive cupola smelt mill chimney built in 1792. We can explore some of the flues, so please bring a torch if you want a look. All this and hopefully amazing views across Wharfedale.
