Coniston Mines route description

[James Goldberg]

Sorry to disturb but I was thinking of doing a trip to Coniston mines in the summer, however I am having some trouble finding descriptions/maps for the different routes in the mines. Does anyone have/know where I can find a description?

It’s probably for the best that nobody’s written a turn by turn route description for the classic through trip - it’ll help to keep the choppers away. All of the info is available on the CATMHS website. I seem to remember that minexplorer.com has some good info too. The route finding is fairly straightforward and you can always go back out the way you went in.

Enjoy and take care - it’s a fascinating place.

Contact CATMHS, some entrances may be locked so you would need to get a key anyway. If you are lucky a knowledgeable local might join you!

The Eric Holland field guide is an invaluable book. Or a friendly local Dougle would be happy to help you out
