REVIEWS & COMMENTS

Better than the Great Barrier Reef…The Lake District’s biggest thrill, don’t even think of coming to Honister and missing the Via Ferrata
Jules BrownEditor, Rough Guide to England
This developing attraction is exciting, interactive and unique in the area creating an adventurous and memorable experience for a wide range of visitors yet remaining true to the principles of sustainability and helping to support a number of jobs for local people. Visitors can not only experience the great Cumbrian outdoors but also see first hand the restoration of the Lake District slate mining industry
2014 JudgeCumbria Tourism Awards
The Lake District is the loveiest part of England and Borrowdale is the fairest of its Valleys
Alfred WainwrightVisits Honister with Eric Robson
Honister is owned by a local family and is a supporter of the Lake District community, economy and the environment. Every penny you spend at Honister helps support the mine and our young people
