Hartsop Hall Mine

Hartsop, Patterdale, Eden, Cumbria, England, UK

An abandoned lead mine worked sporadically between the 17th century and 1942.

It is now a National Trust property.

Of particular interest here is the fluorite found in the mine, uncommon in this part of Cumbria.

There are several good writeups of the site in the links below, particularly the National Trust links and the pdf “HARTSOP HALL MINE 1980” by the NMRS.
