Access

build Derbyshire Key required.

Within Intake Dale, halfway between the two roads, on the south flank where Shuttle Rake crosses the dale.

70m-deep engine shaft (previously blocked at the top and concealed) has recently been re-opened by the Eldon PC, and rebuilt and restored by the DCA. This is within a very large modern plinth of stacked deads, covered with a galvanised steel lid, locked with nuts - Derbyshire Key required. The shaft is on land that is used by walkers, so ensure that lid is closed after entry, and firmly locked upon leaving.

Stope entrance is a small vertical slot high on the dale side to NE of engine shaft, dropping immediately into a very narrow 30m shaft on the vein - stacked deads throughout on either side. Great care should be exercised upon entering and leaving this route due to loose rock. Keep entrance covered.
