Honister Slate Mine.
Nestled deep in the heart of the Lake District, we are the proud guardians of the Westmorland Green Slate. This magnificent 450 million-year-old stone carries with it stories from aeons past, having been hewn from this very mountain for many a generation.
But there’s more to Honister than just slate.
Whether under brilliant blue skies or the soft drizzle that the Lakes are famed for, our mine offers some of the most exhilarating adventures in the Lake District.
Every twist and turn of our dramatic landscape has a tale to tell – of age-old traditions, daring escapades, and home of adventure in the British countryside.
Come, be part of our story.
We’re eager to share the magic of Honister with you, to offer a glimpse of our rich tapestry of history, adventure, and rugged beauty. We await with a warm welcome and tales aplenty. Let the next chapter of your Lake District adventure begin with us.”
