This is a picture of the main passage in Lennie's Cave at Secadura, near Matienzo in Northern Spain. The cave is named in memory of Len Gee. There are two entrances but the one usually used is a flat out crawl that leads to a large chamber. See more pictures in the caving gallery. Sadly, the cave has not yet fulfilled its promised length but time will tell.

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.

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.
