Honister Slate Mine overview
If you are looking for adventure and thrills then visit Honister Slate Mine for a day to remember! The Via Ferrata (Italian for “iron way”) offers a unique climbing experience following the route ...
the miners would have taken. You are harnessed to a permanent cable, and can try your hand at climbing rock faces using preinstalled rungs. This is not a cheap activity and not for the faint hearted! Alternatively, take an underground mine tour and follow the factory trail, and shop for unique gifts for all things slate. Honister Slate Mine has been actively mined on a large scale since the 18th century but slate may have been mined in Honister since Roman times. Honister Slate Mine has also been used for filming a range of television programmes, including Coronation Street!
