    Tips

    Hiking

    The buildings at Honister are decorated with iconic slate sculptures. The buildings house a café (I recommend the mars bar tray bake), a shop, toilets and you can book mine tours, via ferrata and more from here.

    Hiking

    Great place to have a coffee, see the slate carvings or to just have a rest on your hike around the great hills in the area.
