 |
| Looking back along the old mine road |
 |
| An information board provides a short history of the tungsten mine |
 |
| The mine ceased to operate in 1981, in 1988 the mill and other ore processing buildings on the north side of Grainsgill Beck were completely removed, all that remains are the concrete bases of hoppers on the south side of the beck which were constructed in 1913 |
 |
| Beyond the mine the Cumbria Way follows the course of Grainsgill Beck, it's preferable to leave it for a path that traverses the slopes of Drygill Head which provides much better views. The start of the path is quite indistinct but improves as height is gained |
