Mouldridge is one of hundreds of lead mines in the Peak District of the UK. It has never been a large enterprise but was worked right up to the middle of the 20th century when fluorspar became the main product. The mine is easily accessed along a single adit with sections above and below the adit. The mineral has been excavated from pipe workings, areas that are more horizontal than vertical.

Molino is a large cave in the Matienzo valley which is particularly easy to visit and is often used as an introductory trip for new cavers in the area. The entrance is a massive river sink and the river can be followed to a sump which has been dived to a large resurgence, also in the valley. The picture shows some of the massive stalactites in the roof of the cave.

The next public event at the Alderley Edge mines is an evening trip at Wood Mine on Wednesday 18/02/2026.To find out if there is still space available, go to the booking page.

In case of emergency at Alderley Edge, call POLICE 999 and ask for DERBYSHIRE CAVE RESCUE.   They will call out local team members.  Do NOT call for the Fire Brigade.
