Killhope is a fully restored nineteenth century lead mine, famous for it's huge waterwheel, where you experience for yourself the life and work of the lead mining families of the Pennine dales. You can experience the "mineshop" where miners lived for the week and slept three and four to a bed, work as a "washerboy" separating lead ore from waste, and see the working machinery which Fred Dibnah admired in the "jigger house". Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff will make sure you get the most from your visit.
