Force Crag mine

It is hard to believe that tucked away in the Coledale valley you can find a footprint of a huge mining operation spanning back over 200 years. Hugging the side of the fell along the winding beck we find Force Crag mine. A truly outrageous isolated relic of a long distant past.

Transport yourself back in time.

After walking for what seemed like an eternity along what has come to be known as the “Burma road” we found ourselves transported decades in the past and in awe of the juxtaposition between the cascading green of the surrounding fells and the almost blood red colour of the rust that now makes up the shell of the mine itself.
