The Lead Mines
Explore the paths and trails around this former mining area. There are attractive woodlands, heath and grassy areas as well as great views. Look out for kestrels hovering above, hunting for small animals. Whitespots lead mine was Ulster's most important metal mine in the mid 1800s. At its peak 400 people worked here and thousands of tons of lead ore were removed from the ground. But by 1900 the mine was abandoned and nature has gradually reclaimed the land. Now Whitespots is an Area of Special Scientific Interest, famous for its geology and wildlife. Travel back in time to the 1850s. Whitespots lead mine is a busy industrial site. Smoke pours out of chimneys while beam engines and the windmill drive machinery. Below ground, it's dark and dangerous with miles of tunnels linked by deep shafts. Miners work by candlelight using picks and shovels to find lead ore.
This trail of caches will take you around a not so well known area of the Lead Mines although local dog walkers, runners and joggers do tend to use this area. Also people use this area of the Lead Mines for motor bike scrambling so take extra care especially if you have young children. The paths can be very muddy in some places.
