    Absolute gem of a place with the remains of the Coppermine's buildings and machinery all in place. Surrounded by the breathtaking and dramatic scenery of the Coppermines valley with its waterfalls, and The Old Man of Coniston summit within touching distance (metaphorically), shrouded in mist. Multiple paths available from here to explore the surrounding mountains, including The Old Man. Views to die for!
