Ecton Copper Mines, Dale Mine Adit

Entrance of Ecton Copper Mines, Dale Mine Adit

Access

Not strictly part of Ecton Mines. Entrance is on west (adit & level) bank of river, over wall by Dale Bridge. Water usually flows from partially bricked-up adit. Site is owned by Peak National Park Authority and, as no official access agreement is in force, all entry is unauthorised and will stir up silt which will be clearly visible in the river Manifold
