Gin Hill Mine Shaft

Highlight • Historical Site

There is little of the old mine itself, other than the narrow entrance to the mine shaft. Easy to confuse with a well, but the information board prevents that.

Bridleway Through North Pennines National Landscape

Highlight • Cycleway

Best to keep to this bridleway until you find the next signpost, easy to get lost around here. The surface is also variable not always rideable but eventually you will get to another split signpost.
