Nenthead Mines Heritage Centre

This 200 acre site high in the hills tells the story of a once thriving lead and zinc mining industry.

Nent Valley includes Nenthead Mines Heritage Centre.  Experience the underground world of the miners in our original mine dating to at least the 17th century, enjoy the Power of Water, an impressive interactive area looking at the technology used, which includes three water wheels, or walk over the top of a deep shaft, and look down if you dare!  All this, plus exhibition areas, shop and café makes Nent Valley the best day out in the North Pennines.

Open
