hole

This is half a report half a question, also please excuse any mistakes I have made as this is my first post on here. On my trip to Lightwater valley today, I noticed there was a large moss covered building in the middle of the Forrest that could be seen from the ferris wheel. Later on I noticed...

July 2026 Visited with @MotionlessMike over one ridiculously warm weekend, and to be honest, heading underground was probably the best way to escape the heat. This was my first visit to Sallet Hole, with Mike kindly showing me around while also trying to track down a few areas he'd missed on...

Having exploded most of the system, reaching the plug hole. The concrete box section that feeds it, isn't accessible without equipment. From looking at other reports, I see others have abseiled down there? I'm just curious to know where this leads, and where the water intake is coming from.

Sallet hole is an abandoned mine located in derbyshire, it was worked extensively from the 1700s to when it closed down in the 1990 (i don’t know much about the history) The Explore: Sallet hole is in my opinion the most dangerous abandoned mine in derbyshire. I’ve explored most of the mines...

Visited with Ella and Mark on a day of underground Dover explores. First time I’ve been in here, me and ella tried to find it a couple of years ago and turns out we were very close to finding it. This will also be my last time visiting here, I honestly saw my life flash before me on the...

History Sallet Hole №1 sits in Coombs Dale and has worked Lead & Fluorite on the Deep Rake, at least since the late 18th century. With №2 beginning work on the Watersaw level in the mid 1980, connecting fully in 1987. For this report, although I have seen others that treat them as separate sites...

Visited a couple of months back whilst working away in Leeds. This has been closed for about fifteen years and is in a beautiful area. It has recently had a hole munched into the side; apparently needed abseiling at one point? An extremely relaxed explore on a great day of urbex...

Explored with @cattos mc budget Named after the sheer amount of golf balls found inside which are from a golf course upstream. :oo Coming here was a bit out of the blue as our original plan was to revisit Dreadnought in Bristol but this didn't end up happening due to train strikes and other...

Explored in the good company of concreteJungle. It appears that this watercourse was originally known as the Sheep Washers Brook, but has for a very long time been known by locals as the Devil’s Hole. Several years ago the sewer portion of the drain was given the name Shatterproof possibly...

HISTORY Sallet hole has been worked for Lead, Barytes and in its more recent years Flourspar, a common occurrence in Derbyshire where old lead mines were re worked for Flourspar once the un profitable by-product of Lead was now where the riches lay. Fluorspar is used directly or indirectly to...

Disclaimer: I sometimes chose to explore solo but I am not encouraging or endorsing repeats of any of my trips. Don't turn up to take a look yourself with some old climbing rope and prusiks - you might die. Many caving clubs use it for srt training so contact one of them if needed. Summer Snow...

Ok everyone I'm not going to ramble on about this one as I'll just be regurgitating everything that's already been said by anyone who's been here. We found it on our 3rd attempt with huge thanks to Doozer. Anyway enough from me enjoy sum pics instead.

As some of you will know I have done quite a few mines & small underground stuff, so when @Down and beyond suggested a day out doing something "a bit more extreme" in the underground world I naturally jumped at the chance. There is no denying I was not mentally prepared for what was in the...

1. The History Sallet Hole Mine No.1 located south east of the Derbyshire village of Stoney Middleton, is classified as mixed-mine having been worked for lead, barytes, and fluorspar over the years. It was originally driven as a “sough” (an underground channel for draining water out of a mine)...

1. The History Longstone Edge is located approximately some 4km to the north of Bakewell, within the north-eastern area of the White Peak and to the west of the Derwent Valley. Here can be found Watersaw Mine or Sallet Hole adit no.2 as it is also known. It was opened in 1965 and was originally...
