    The moorland where you are has a rich history of lead mining, and right in front, you can observe what used to be the chimney of the Jeffrey Smelt Mill. Next to it (as you can see, the upper part is missing, although the rest is well-preserved), there is a dam that was also used for the mines. There was another one as well, but this is the only one that still has water in it.

      Nice blast from the past and a nice little shelter from the wind.
