What is our mine tour?
Honister mine tours offer a unique chance to delve deep underground and understand how our 450-million-year-old volcanic green slate has been mined through the ages.
There is no better way to experience our mines than journeying through the underground passages and great caverns of Fleetwith Pike. During this fully-guided tour, participants will be granted insight into Honister’s rich 350 years of working history, from tales of young miners to explosive special effects and enhanced reality technology.
This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for all ages, ideal for rainy days and families.
