return to list Devonshire Mine
Date(s): 31st Jan 2025 - Written by: Robert Stevenson - Location: SK 290 584
So in an effort to get new folks underground a trip was organised to go look at Devonshire, an exciting and unusual mine, requiring now equipment, but still a head for heights with exposed areas and numerous climbs... Rob's report follows:Karolina, Jenny, Olly and Myself took a bimble into my old favourite Devonshire mine (31st Jan) - it was late Friday night so not really pushing it (no we didn't find the ladder but truth be told we didn't really try that hard) a potter around some of the climbs northways and some crouching down the southern route and a few pokes of our heads over some of those enticing stopes. Definitely worth a day with a picnic and a bag of ropes there is so much to see in this mine and I fore one am intrigued to drop down into the lower levels (for which there do seem to be some boltings and spits). For the wriggly ones it would be worth going as far south as we can (but definitely there you are flat out). Anyhow a great time had by us.
