About

A rare chance to visit the working of the Deep Ecton Copper Mine in the Staffordshire Moorlands. You will be led underground to see the 18th century mine workings and learn about what was once the biggest, richest and deepest copper mine in the UK.

The surface features and engine house are free to visit but underground tours must be pre-booked.

These tours are only suitable for able-bodied persons aged 12 years and over.

Warm clothing and WATERPROOF FOOTWEAR is ESSENTIAL: The temperature underground is 8°c regardless of outdoor conditions. There will be standing water usually about 150mm (6 inches) deep, so wellington boots are required. A hand-held torch will compliment the helmet mounted light provided.
